Production
editThe design is built by Jeanneau in Cheviré, near Nantes, in France, starting in 2023.[1][3][4][8][9]
Design
editThe boat was announced in November 2022 and was based on a concept developed by the UNCL-Racing Division of the Yacht Club de France, the British Royal Ocean Racing Club, and the American Storm Trysail Club. Those clubs saw a need for a more affordable offshore one design racer that would allow national and international competition. To choose a new boat, they initiated a design competition entitled Class 30: Let's Build the Future. This was won by the design firm of VPLP design working with racing boat builder Multiplast. Jeanneau will actually build the boat and provide marketing, distribution and technical support, while Multiplast handles the design prototyping, preform and mold construction, startup of class association organization, racing program and sales oversight.[4][5][6][7]
The boat is designed and constructed to be more ecologically sustainable than past boats. It is built using Elium thermoplastic resin especially for boat construction, which was developed over three years by Arkema in conjunction with Jeanneau's parent company, the Bénéteau Group. Elium is made from 20% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. This allows production waste to be reused and also means the boats themselves are recyclable.[4][5][6][7]
The Sun Fast 30 One Design is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of Elium thermoplastic resin. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig with a bowsprit, a semi-scow plumb stem, an open transom, twin transom-hung rudders controlled by a single tiller and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 5,952 lb (2,700 kg) and carries 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 6.56 ft (2.00 m) with the standard keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with either a French Nanni Industries diesel engine of 10 hp (7 kW) or an electric motor for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank for the diesel engine installation holds 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal). Either engine qualifies for the one design class.[1][4][7]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a two "V"-berths in the bow cabin, a straight settee and twin seat in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with a single berth. A navigation station is fitted on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 5.58 ft (170 cm).[1][3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker.[1][3]
