Jeanneau Sun Way 21
Description
Sun Way 21 (also styled as Sunway 21) is a compact pocket cruiser/trailer-sailer built by Jeanneau in France from 1989 to 1995. A total of 532 hulls were produced. Designed by J&J Design (Slovenian naval architects), it was marketed as an affordable, safe, and family-friendly entry into cruising — a modern “gateway” boat for young families or sailors stepping up from dinghies. It emphasizes ease of handling, light-air performance, and notable safety features for its size.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
