The Sun Fast 40.3 is a French sailboat that was designed by Daniel Andrieu as a cruiser-racer and was first built in 2004. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 2004, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [6] [7]
The Sun Fast 40.3 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 18,056 lb (8,190 kg) and carries 5,291 lb (2,400 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [5]
The boat has a draft of 6.89 ft (2.10 m) with the standard keel. [1] [2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 56 hp (42 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 36 U.S. gallons (140 L; 30 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 90 U.S. gallons (340 L; 75 imp gal). [1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four to six people in two and three-cabin interior configurations. The two cabin interior has a double berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and a two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The three-cabin version splits the aft cabin into two cabins, each with a 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 double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The design may be fitted with a single head, located aft on the port side. A second head may be fitted in the bow cabin on the starboard side. [1] [2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker. The design has a hull speed of 7.74 kn (14.33 km/h). [1] [2]
The boat was at one time supported by a class club that organized racing events, the Sun Fast Association. [8] [9]
