Jeanneau Sun Fast 52 Ketch
Description
The Sun Fast 52 is a high-performance ocean cruising ketch designed by Daniel Andrieu and built by Jeanneau (France) as part of their Sun Fast racing range, introduced in 2023 with production ongoing in limited numbers (fewer than 10 hulls to date). This modern ketch configuration adapts Jeanneau's performance DNA for shorthanded bluewater sailing, featuring advanced carbon construction, twin rudders, a wide platform for stability, and a split rig for easier handling during long passages; key features include a minimalist interior with 6–8 berths, large sailplan (1,400+ sq ft upwind), optional furling staysail, 132 gal water, and 105 gal fuel capacity, all in a sleek 52 ft package optimized for speed and safety offshore.
