Built in 1983 by Jeanneau, the hull of the Sun Shine 36 was designed by Tony Castro with a racing spirit. However, the interior layouts provide real living comfort on board for cruising. Since its purchase in December 2023, the owner has continuously renovated this boat named Nausicaä. As a professional sailor, he worked diligently and passionately on this renovation which cost him nearly €25,000 in materials and a year of work. His goal was to make it a high-performance, pleasant, and durable boat.
