The Sun Fast 3300 is a French sailboat that was designed by Daniel Andrieu and Guillaume Verdier as a racer-cruiser and first built in 2019. Andrieu optimized the design for the International Rating Certificate rules, while Verdier conducted the computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis on the design.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-fast-3300-jeanneau|title= Sun Fast 3300 (Jeanneau) sailboat |access-date= 6 March 2023|last= McArthur|first= Bruce|work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306181835/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-fast-3300-jeanneau|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau/sun-fast-3300|title= Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300|access-date= 6 March 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306181836/https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau/sun-fast-3300|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/sailboats/jeanneau/sun-fast-3300|title = Sun Fast 3300 Sailboat specifications|access-date = 6 March 2023|work = Boat-Specs.com|year=2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306181906/https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/sailboats/jeanneau/sun-fast-3300|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/andrieu-daniel|title= Daniel Andrieu|access-date = 6 March 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221129192935/https://sailboatdata.com/designer/andrieu-daniel|archive-date= 29 November 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/daniel-andrieu|title= Daniel Andrieu|access-date= 6 March 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221129193107/https://sailboat.guide/daniel-andrieu|archive-date= 29 November 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/designers/andrieu-yacht-design|title = Andrieu Yacht Design Sailboat designer|access-date = 6 March 2023|work = Boat-Specs.com|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221129194154/https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/designers/andrieu-yacht-design|archive-date= 29 November 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/verdier-guillaume|title= Guillaume Verdier|access-date = 6 March 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306183019/https://sailboatdata.com/designer/verdier-guillaume|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/guillaume-verdier|title= Guillaume Verdier|access-date= 6 March 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306183030/https://sailboat.guide/guillaume-verdier|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/designers/guillaume-verdier-architecture-navale|title = Guillaume Verdier Architecture Navale|access-date = 6 March 2023|work = Boat-Specs.com|year= 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306183044/https://www.boat-specs.com/sailing/designers/guillaume-verdier-architecture-navale|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/1-sun-fast/640-sun-fast-3300/|title= Sun Fast 3300|access-date= 6 March 2023|author= Jeanneau|author-link= Jeanneau|work= jeanneau.com|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230306181914/https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/1-sun-fast/640-sun-fast-3300/|archive-date= 6 March 2023|url-status= live}}

The design was the Sailing World "2020 Boat of the Year: Overall Winner".
Production
The design has been built by Jeanneau in France, since 2019 and remains in production.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|title = Jeanneau (FRA)|access-date = 6 March 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= 6 March 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 = 6 March 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}}
Design
The Sun Fast 3300 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of vacuum infused polyester fiberglass. The fully soft chined hull is a fiberglass-balsa sandwich, while the deck is a fiberglass-foam sandwich. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig with a carbon fiber bowsprit, a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars, with discontinuous Dyform rigging. Axxon carbon fiber spars and rod rigging are factory options. The hull has a reverse raked stem, an open plumb transom, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a single tiller with an extension and a fixed fin keel. It displaces {{convert|7716|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|3086|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of cast iron and lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.40|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel. Two {{convert|53|u.s.gal}} water ballast tanks are a factory option. These transfer water from the leeward to the windward side tank via twin pumps.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of {{convert|21|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|13|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|26|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a two straight settee berths in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with two berths. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is block-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located in the bow cabin.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|1184|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}. The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.24|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
The Sun Fast 3300 was intended to be raced single or double handed or with a full crew, including for transatlantic racing.
Operational history
The boat was at one time 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= 6 March 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}}
In a 2019 review for Yachting World, Pip Hare wrote, "as soon as the jib started to drop the kite filled and BOOM! Even with my co-skipper on the front of the boat our bow actually leapt out of the water and we blasted off with some pace. The grin I was wearing sailing under spinnaker actually made my face hurt after a while. This boat is seriously fun, powerful and responsive. We sat at 130° true wind angle, playing in the waves, pushing to the limits – our top speed surfing was 14.3 knots and the other side of the bay arrived far too quickly."
In a 2020 Sail Magazine review, Adam Cort wrote, "underway, what most surprised me most about the Sun Fast 3300 was how well it went to windward. I was also pleased by how much room there was for the five crew we had aboard, this in spite of the spider’s web of control lines running about. Heading up to a 32-degree apparent wind angle in 7 knots quickly produced 5 knots of boatspeed and a lively, responsive helm. As expected, we pounded a little in the chop. But coming about was a piece of cake, and the boat felt wonderfully balanced throughout."
