Design
The Sun Fast 42 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with the hull solid fiberglass and the deck a fiberglass sandwich. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of 8° swept spreaders and aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a slightly raked stem, a reverse transom with steps and a fold-out swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional deep-draft keel. The fin keel model displaces {{convert|18960|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|7275|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of iron ballast, while the deep draft version displaces {{convert|18739|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|7055|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.07|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and {{convert|7.54|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional deep draft keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 4JH diesel engine of {{convert|60|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|40|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|92|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for up to eight people, with a "team" interior or "owner's" interior. Both interiors have a main salon with a U-shaped settee and straight settee, plus two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The team version has two bunks in the forepeak, while the owners version has a single "V"-berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the port side. The owner's version has a second head just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin maximum headroom is {{convert|80|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|1449|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.94|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}
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= 16 January 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220918134424/https://sailboat.guide/sun-fast-jeanneau-class-association|archive-date= 18 September 2022|url-status= live}}
