Jeanneau Sun Shine 36

Boat sold by the owner. Viewings upon request.

Built in 1983 by Jeanneau, the hull of the Sun Shine 36 is designed by Tony Castro with a racing spirit. However, the interior layouts provide real comfort for cruising. Since purchasing in December 2023, I have been continuously renovating this boat named Nausicaä. As a professional sailor, I worked diligently and passionately on this renovation, which cost me nearly €25,000 in material and a year of work, not counting my hours. My goal was to make it a high-performance, enjoyable, and durable boat.
