Jeanneau Sun Shine 36
Description
Built in 1983 by Jeanneau, the hull of the Sun Shine 36 was designed by Tony Castro with race in mind. However, the interior layout provides real comfort for cruising life. Since its purchase in December 2023, the owner has continuously renovated this boat named Nausicaä. As a professional sailor, he worked diligently on this renovation, which cost nearly €25,000 in materials and a year of work. His goal was to make it a high-performance, comfortable, and durable vessel.
