The Sunrise 34 is a 1984 design by Jacques
Fauroux, and is typical of Jeanneau designs of the period
- a clean-lined and fast hull form, with a definite performance
edge over comparable sized Beneteau cruising models, and a
teak interior. These slightly older Jeanneaus share a distinct family
resemblance to some much more recent current Jeanneau models, but may actually be
better sailing boats thanks to narrower stern sections allowing
better hull balance. The design later evolved into the current 'Sun Odyssey'
and 'Sun Fast' ranges, with the more cruising-orientated models
designated 'Sun Odyssey', and 'Sun Fast' for the racier versions.
Contemporary reviews rated the Sunrise 34 as fast, well mannered
and easily handled, although the sleek lines led to a little
lower headroom below than some other models. 'Yachting Monthly'
described the Sunrise 34 as ".... a pleasure to sail
and extremely well balanced", and 'Sailing Today'
said the design ".... soon gained a reputation for
being able to take on outright racing machines with some success"
The Sunrise 34 was built with options of a single aft cabin,
or twin aft cabins. This yacht is the twin aft cabin version,
with one large and one slightly smaller aft double. The GRP
hull is kevlar-reinforced in the bows and in stress areas
around keel and rig attachments. The interior is fitted out
with lots of solid teak, in a much more traditional style
than current Jeanneaus.
