On Test - Jeanneau SunFast 3300

I’ve been wanting to test the Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300 for some time and when Covid restrictions were eased sufficiently that we were finally able to get back afloat I leapt at the opportunity - the conditions were perfect. This is a pocket rocket that was designed specifically for shorthanded racing and looks set to do well in an area of our sport that continues to grow by the season.

    It's a great review without an ounce of chauvinism, which is rare enough to get noticed. With a bit more euros in my pocket I'd have "a hard time" choosing between a Pogo 30 or 10.5 and this modern beauty. Happily Corona craze released us from struggling with that type of dilemmas 😉 Nice review!

    Yesterday I was sailing my Bavaria 33 in a force 5, gusting 6, on a broad reach at 8+ knots when "Leyton" came past like I was standing still. Must have been doing over 12 knots & made it look easy. My wife likes the comfort of the Bavaria but convincing her to go sailing at all is becoming more difficult every year. I gave up racing when I bought the Bavaria as it's a cruiser. I think Jeanneau are onto a winner with their new boat. It's an awesome package. How much is it by the way ??

    A keel line stem to stern academic keeling design reduces heeling over and increases speed of the sailboat. Add the blade keel lwr least wind resistance to the aerodynamic hull. He who keels the sails ahead of the sail effort wins the races.
