The Sun Fast 26 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand and the Jeanneau Design Office as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1998.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The Sun Fast 26 is part of the Sun Fast sailboat range.[8]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1998 to 2003, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][7][9][10][11]

Design

The Sun Fast 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, a single set of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with continuous stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom with a swimming platform, twin spade-type rudders controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel, with a weighted bulb. It displaces 5,732 lb (2,600 kg) and carries 1,984 lb (900 kg) of cast iron ballast.[1][2][3]

The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard keel.[1][2][3]

The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of 10 hp (7 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 6.6 U.S. gallons (25 L; 5.5 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 26.4 U.S. gallons (100 L; 22.0 imp gal).[1][2][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin around a table and an aft cabin with a centered double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located aft on the port side. Cabin maximum headroom is 72 in (183 cm).[1][2][3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of 414 sq ft (38.5 m2), flown from a retractable bowsprit.[1][2][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.32 kn (11.70 km/h).[2]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by a class club that organized racing events, the Sun Fast Association.[12][13]
