Sun Rise: Jeanneau's take on a versatile cruiser!
The Sun Rise series emerged in 1984, at a time when a 10-metre cruising yacht was considered a large boat! The Jeanneau shipyard in Vendée, France was the birthplace of a versatile, efficient and well-built cruiser boat based on Fauroux plans. Monolithic polyester of the time offered solid structures, albeit at a pretty substantial weight: 4.7 tonnes on the dynamometer! The first model, the 34', was replaced a few years later by the 35', which included steps in the transom among other developments. Both versions of the Sun Rise are fast, well-built and well-balanced cruisers at the helm. It has a large sail area which should be reduced swiftly to maintain this smoothness at the helm. This is particularly true for the centerboarder version, which is said to be a more heeled boat than the fixed ballast version. That said, the Sun Rise is very comfortable in the breeze, with several boats sailing long distances, including around the world. The boat is available in 2 layout versions: an "Owner" version with 2 double cabins, and a "Team" version with 3 cabins, including 2 doubles at the stern. This version is generally preferred when bought second-hand. Although the cabins are a little smaller, it is easy to convert one of them into an easily accessible technical room, as is done on modern boats.
