Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2008 to 2019, but it is now out of production.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|title = Jeanneau (FRA)|access-date = 20 February 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230104184016/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|archive-date= 4 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau|title= Jeanneau|access-date= 20 February 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220418125800/https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau|archive-date= 18 April 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/builders/jeanneau|title = Jeanneau Sailboat builder|access-date = 20 February 2023|work = Boat-Specs.com|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20210607203532/https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/builders/jeanneau|archive-date= 7 June 2021|url-status= live}}
The boat was originally conceived as a limited production design for the Transquadra, a single or double-handed transatlantic race for sailors over 40 years of age. Production was initially intended for 15 to 20 boats, but the design found commercial success and over 150 had been built by 2015. Matthew Sheahan described it in Yachting World, "although loosely termed a racer, the category didn't fully describe what the Jeanneau Sun Fast 3200 was about. It became the sailing equivalent of the motor industry’s crossover category, a term to describe the growing range of suburban 4x4s – a multi-purpose racer."{{cite web|url= https://www.yachtingworld.com/reviews/boat-tests/jeanneau-sun-fast-3600-on-test|title= Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600 on test – a multi-purpose cruiser-racer|access-date= 5 March 2023|last= Sheahan|first= Matthew|work= Yachting World|date= 16 April 2015|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230305180059/https://www.yachtingworld.com/reviews/boat-tests/jeanneau-sun-fast-3600-on-test|archive-date= 5 March 2023|url-status= live}}
Design
The Sun Fast 3200 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The hull is made from a vacuum-infused fiberglass-balsa sandwich, while the deck is a vacuum-infused PVC-fiberglass sandwich. It has a 19/20 fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with discontinuous Dyform rigging. The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by dual tillers and a fixed L-shaped fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces {{convert|7496|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2877|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of lead ballast in the standard keel and {{convert|2998|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} in the straight lead keel.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.16|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel or the straight lead keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of {{convert|15|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|20|u.s.gal}} and the soft fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|21|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with two settee berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with four single berths. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a top loading refrigerator, and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located in the bow and there is a sail storage compartment in the forepeak. Cabin maximum headroom is {{convert|76|in|cm|0|abbr=on}} in the 2 cabins while the headroom at the front of the saloon is {{convert|64|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|892|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.10|kn|km/h|abbr=on}} and a PHRF handicap of 75 to 90.{{cite web|url= https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/|title= PHRF Handicaps|access-date= 20 February 2023|author= US Sailing|author-link= US Sailing|work= ussailing.org|year= 2023}}
An updated R2 version of the boat introduced a redesigned cockpit, carbon fiber mast and a straight keel.
Operational history
At one time, the boat was supported by a class club that organized racing events, the Sun Fast Association.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/association/sun-fast-jeanneau|title= Sun Fast (Jeanneau)|access-date = 18 September 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220918134110/https://sailboatdata.com/association/sun-fast-jeanneau|archive-date= 18 September 2022|url-status= dead}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/sun-fast-jeanneau-class-association|title= Sun Fast (Jeanneau)|access-date= 20 February 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220918134424/https://sailboat.guide/sun-fast-jeanneau-class-association|archive-date= 18 September 2022|url-status= live}}
