The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1994 until 1994, with 20 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [6] [7]

Design

The Sun Fast 52 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with steps to a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 28,660 lb (13,000 kg) and carries 11,078 lb (5,025 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 8.04 ft (2.45 m) with the standard keel and 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1] [2]

The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of 80 hp (60 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 53 U.S. gallons (200 L; 44 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 140 U.S. gallons (530 L; 120 imp gal). [1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with either a double berth in the forward cabin, or tow forward cabins with single berths in each. There are two aft cabin with double berths under the cockpit. The salon has an "L"-shaped settee and a straight settee around a table. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is straight in configuration and is equipped with a four-burner stove, a refrigerator and freezer and dual sinks. A navigation station is aft of the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one in the bow and one on the port side aft. [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 8.92 kn (16.52 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 57. [2] [8]

The boat was at one time supported by a class club that organized racing events, the Sun Fast Association. [9] [10]
