Why the Sun Fast 3300?
The Sun Fast 3300 has become one of the most proven modern production offshore race boats in the 30 to 35 foot range. Designed for IRC and ORC racing, the 3300 combines infused lightweight construction, a powerful sail plan, twin rudders, water ballast, and a carbon rig in a package that can be raced fully crewed, doublehanded, or solo.Jeanneau’s infusion construction process reduces weight while increasing stiffness. The result is a light, rigid offshore racing platform with excellent control, strong reaching performance, and proven handicap competitiveness.The Sun Fast 3300 is especially appealing for sailors who want serious offshore capability, strong rating performance, and manageable campaign logistics in a production-built platform.WAVE DANCER is well suited for:Doublehanded offshore racingFully crewed distance racingORC and IRC competitionAnnapolis-NewportNewport Bermuda RaceBlock Island RaceVineyard RaceCaribbean 600RORC offshore eventsEast Coast distance-racing campaignsExperienced sailors looking for a serious offshore platform without stepping into a custom program
