The Sun Fast 52 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1992.[1][2][3][4][5]
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1994 until 1994, with 20 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]
Design
The Sun Fast 52 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with steps to a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 28,660 lb (13,000 kg) and carries 11,078 lb (5,025 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 8.04 ft (2.45 m) with the standard keel and 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of 80 hp (60 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 53 U.S. gallons (200 L; 44 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 140 U.S. gallons (530 L; 120 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with either a double berth in the forward cabin, or tow forward cabins with single berths in each. There are two aft cabin with double berths under the cockpit. The salon has an L-shaped settee and a straight settee around a table. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is straight in configuration and is equipped with a four-burner stove, a refrigerator and freezer and dual sinks. A navigation station is aft of the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one in the bow and one on the port side aft.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 8.92 kn (16.52 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 57.[2][8]
Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club that organized racing events, the Sun Fast Association.[9][10]
