Design

The Sun 2000 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass. The hull is made from solid fiberglass, while the deck is an injection molded fiberglass sandwich. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, a single set of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a plumb stem and transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,756 lb (1,250 kg) and carries 794 lb (360 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [3]

The boat has a draft of 5.16 ft (1.57 m) with the centerboard extended and 0.92 ft (0.28 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 5 to 8 hp (4 to 6 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow and two straight settees in the main cabin around an oval table. The galley is located on both sides, amidships and is equipped with a small sink and has space for a portable stove. Cabin headroom is 50 in (127 cm). [1] [2] [3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 344 sq ft (32.0 m2). [1] [2] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.02 kn (11.15 km/h) [2] [3]
