The Sun Way 21 is a French sailboat that was designed by J&J Design as a cruiser and first built in 1989. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1989 to 1995, with 532 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [3] [4] [8] [10] [11] [12]

Design

The Sun Way 21 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The hull is solid fiberglass, while the deck has a balsa core. There is also injected foam that makes the boat unsinkable. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped pivoting mast, one set of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with continuous stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and steel centerboard, with a folding rudder. The fin keel model displaces 1,874 lb (850 kg) and carries 507 lb (230 kg) of cast iron ballast, while the centerboard version displaces 1,852 lb (840 kg) and carries 441 lb (200 kg) of cast iron external ballast. [1] [2] [3] [4] [9]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 2.46 ft (0.75 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.27 ft (1.30 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.13 ft (0.65 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2]

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

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin around a rectangular table. Cabin headroom is 58 in (147 cm). [1] [2] [3] [4]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 269 sq ft (25.0 m2). [3] [4]

The design has a hull speed of 5.67 kn (10.50 km/h). [2] [3] [4]
