TheSun Fast 30 One Design is a 34-footkeelboat built for offshore racing. I has been built at the FrenchPort of Nantes since 2023 byJeanneau.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations]
It boat was announced in November 2022 and was based on a concept developed by the UNCL-Racing Division of theYacht Club de France, the BritishRoyal Ocean Racing Club, and the American Storm Trysail Club. Those clubs saw a need for a more affordable offshore one design racer that would allow national and international competition. To choose a new boat, they initiated a design competition entitledClass 30: Let's Build the Future. This was won by the design firm ofVPLP design working with racing boat builderMultiplast.
Designed byVan Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost, it has a 9/10fractionalsloop rig with abowsprit. For sailing downwind it may be equipped with anasymmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The hull has a semi-scowplumb stem, an opentransom, twin transom-hungrudders controlled by a singletiller and a fixed finkeel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 5,952 lb (2,700 kg) and carries 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) of ballast.[1][2] It has a draft of 6.56 ft (2.00 m) with the standard keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with either a FrenchNanni Industriesdiesel engine of 10 hp (7 kW) or anelectric motor. The fuel tank for the diesel engine installation holds 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal). Either engine qualifies for the one design class.[1][3][9]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a two"V"-berths in the bow cabin, a straight settee and twin seat in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with a single berth. A navigation station is fitted on the starboard side. Thehead is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 5.58 ft (170 cm).[1][2]
Jeanneau builds the boat and provides marketing, distribution and technical support, while Multiplast handles the design prototyping, preform and mold construction, startup of class association organization, racing program and sales oversight.[3][7][8][9]
The boat is designed and constructed to be more ecologically sustainable than past boats. It is built using Eliumthermoplastic resin especially for boat construction, which was developed over three years byArkema in conjunction with Jeanneau's parent company, theBénéteau Group. Elium is made from 20% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. This allows production waste to be reused and also means the boats themselves are recyclable.[3][7][8][9]
