Description
The Sun Fast 3300, built by Jeanneau, is a Verdier/Andrieu designed rocket ship full of advanced and unique features. Verdier has designed some of the world’s fastest Mini 650’s, Class 40’s, and IMOCA 60’s, while Andrieu has a string of successful IRC & IOR race boats to his name. Together, they have created a blisteringly fast, competitive IRC short-handed racer/cruiser with an enviable race record. Give the 3300 some wind, and she’s off like a scolded cat!
“BUG” has a very special spec with many custom features and is ready to hit the race track with a high modulus carbon rig, custom water ballast system, North 3Di RAW Sails, B&G H5000 electronics, and much more. A very special boat at an equally special price!
“BUG” has been dry sailed from new and is ready to go for a 2025 Fastnet Campaign.

Upgrades & Modifications
2024 Endorsed IRC rating is 1.032 with water ballast, 3 jibs, and 4 spinnakers. There is an opportunity to optimize this significantly downwards with a Secondary Rating without water ballast, 2 jibs, and 3 spinnakers for those who enjoy playing Rating Games.
STIX Stability No is 38, which easily gets the boat Category A and OSR Cat 1 capabilities.
