The Sun Fast 39 is a development of the more cruising-oriented Sun Charm 39 of 1988. The design was developed into the cruising Sun Odyssey 39 in 1990.[1][2][6][7][8][9]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][10][11]

Design

The Sun Fast 39 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a step-down reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 14,330 lb (6,500 kg) and carries 5,401 lb (2,450 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.40 ft (1.95 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a British inboard engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 37 U.S. gallons (140 L; 31 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 95 U.S. gallons (360 L; 79 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two aft cabins with a double berth in each. The galley is located on the starboard side, amidships and opposite the "U" shaped settee and the dining table. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is aft of the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one just forward of each aft cabin.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.63 kn (14.13 km/h).[2]
