Jeanneau Sunshine 38

A blend of speed and comfort still stacks up on one of the first performance cruisers.

When Tony Castro designed the Jeanneau Sunshine 38 in the early 1980s, many other naval architects had not yet caught up with the notion that sailors might want a comfortable cruising yacht that was also capable of attaining speeds typically achieved only by race boats.

Upon leaving Ron Holland’s design team in 1980, Castro found himself on the cutting edge of a movement toward performance cruisers. His popular Jeanneau Sunshine 36 was launched in 1982 and the Sunshine 38 was an intelligent evolution in 1983.

A masthead-rigged sloop with fin keel and spade rudder, the Sunshine 38 outshined its 36-foot little sister with the addition of a scoop transom that increased waterline length, resulting in more speed that caught the attention of performance-driven sailors. 

The sugar-scoop transom is not a walk-through. However, it allows for installation of an optional swim platform on some models, a feature that attracts families of recreational sailors and makes the boat more user-friendly when chartering in the Caribbean. The scoop provides a welcome dinghy dock, gives swimmers a convenient place to climb aboard and doubles as an outdoor shower location.

With a fast hull and strong rig, the lightweight Sunshine 38 is capable of efficiently capturing a gentle breeze or taking on a gusty blow. Just as Castro planned, it’s the perfect combination of speed and comfort.

At first glance, the Jeanneau Sunshine 38 doesn’t look like a cruising yacht. Four beefy winches, aluminum toerail track, adjustable backstay and a destroyer wheel give the impression this boat is ready for the start line. Viewed from abeam, it sports a racy profile, but its ample girth is quickly apparent from astern. It’s clearly both a cruiser and a racer. Traditionalists pleased by the beauty of varnished wood are likely to notice its absence on deck, but there’s plenty of exotic teak paneling below where the warm glow fosters a feeling of cozy comfort.

Construction

The Sunshine 38 hull is fiberglass laminate, the deck a sandwich of fiberglass layers with balsa core. Hull-to-deck joints are tabbed, taped and sealed because delamination can occur if water is allowed to seep into the balsa core. The mast is deck-stepped and stabilized by a compression post that extends downward through the saloon dinette table until it rests on the keel. The iron keel is attached to the hull with stainless bolts. 

What to look for

There’s no getting around the fact that just about every Sunshine 38 built is now more than 30 years old. Owners report having to replace standing rigging and undersized bolts holding stanchions to the deck. Aging ports and hatches may still be watertight but the glass is likely clouded and scratched. According to owner Josh Antrim of Nahant, Massachusetts, the stainless steel stanchions on his 1985 sloop have stood the test of time, but the undersized fasteners cause deck crazing when pressure is applied to the post. Installing larger diameter bolts and under-deck backing plates may be the solution, he said, adding that similar crazing and undersized fasteners can be found at the bow and stern pulpits. Access to these pulpit fasteners from below deck is relatively easy. 

Buyers should inspect the iron fin keel for rust. It may need a special paint-on barrier coating and fairing. Examine the thin teak strips screwed to the cockpit sole. While aesthetically pleasing, these screws may loosen over time and allow water to get beneath the fiberglass sole where it can cause damage. 

The Sunshine 38 deck layout is relatively  orderly. The cockpit accommodates six but can be tight. The teak cockpit table has hinged wings that allow it to fold open. A pedestal supports the binnacle compass and destroyer wheel. A pair of two-speed, self-tailing winches control the jib sheets. Two smaller winches mounted on the cabin top handle the halyards. 

The traveler is bolted to the bridgedeck, which makes it convenient but also takes up valuable cockpit space. Some owners have relocated the traveler to the coachroof. Control lines lead back to the cockpit so that the boat can be singlehanded.

Owner Eric Treu of Brandford, Connecticut, is among those sailors who prefer a tiller, so he swapped out the wheel. 

“You have a much better feel for the boat with a tiller. Besides, it works fine with the autopilot,” he said.

The boat has no electric windlass, a feature many owners have added. The anchor is stowed in a deck locker that drains into the bilge. Adding a windlass and enlarging the locker would allow use of all chain instead of a short length coupled with rope. 

The sloop’s masthead rig includes a roller furling jib. 

Belowdecks, the Sunshine 38 has a big feel. It’s roomy, due in part to the boat’s high freeboard. Treu, who has owned a 1986 model for about 15 years, described the boat as well-appointed. According to Treu, compared to boats of similar size and age built by companies like Pearson and Ericson, the Jeanneau Sunshine 38 is luxurious. 

“The whole interior is different. It’s not too serious and kind of plush,” he said. “The French understood that boats must be designed to be both fast and comfortable.”

Treu sails the owner’s model, which features a single, spacious aft stateroom with private sink rather than two smaller aft cabins. The boat has one head. The saloon features a teak pedestal table that seats six and breaks down into a double berth. 

“That is the most comfortable place to sleep on the boat. It’s perfect for the kids and even the dog,”  Treu said.

The standard model has three cabins (two doubles and one in the V-berth), as well as two double bunks in the saloon, which allows the boat to sleep 10. Headroom in the saloon is 6 feet. Two settee benches combine to form double bunks on both port and starboard. 

The saloon is paneled in teak. The port-side galley is equipped with a propane-gas stove and oven, refrigeration, water heater and double-basin stainless steel sink. The boat carries two 45-gallon fresh water tanks and has a separate nav station.

The yacht was originally equipped with a single, reliable 30-horsepower Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine. The engine can be accessed for service by raising the companionway steps. A panel on the port side of the aft cabin also provides access. Several owners complained it was short on horsepower, especially in choppy seas. The Sunshine 38 has a single 22-gallon fuel tank.

This sloop has plenty of get up and go. This 38-footer, when fitted with a battened mainsail in new condition, can easily handle 20 knots of breeze without a reef, Treu said. 

“Just crank on the vang and backstay and watch her go,” he said.

Even for sailors with moderate skill, the Sunshine 38 is easy to handle. The boat excels in light winds. Her handling characteristics include the ability to stay on track with little effort once the helm is balanced.

“It’s nice to spin on a dime,” said Antrim, who previously owned a Tartan 34. “It’s pretty responsive compared to my last boat.” He praised the Jeanneau’s sail area-to-displacement ratio and its ability to sail in light air. “Our average speed is 7-8 knots. That’s not what you’d get with a cruising boat.”

The Jeanneau Sunshine 38 stands out as an early performance cruiser that should satisfy recreational cruisers, weekend racers and even those sailors who want to venture offshore. In Treu’s words, “The best things about this boat are speed and comfort.”

There are few 12-metres sailboats to claim the quality of finish of the Sun Shine 38. The tones of the fabric and the velvety-cloth upholstery combine in elegant fashion with the teak background of solid or battened wood. The exceptional working of the materials is enhanced by the balance of decorative style which graces each cabin as well as the head. Great volume is translated into spacious appointment, the navigation station is designed with a concern for both perfection and aesthetics. The L-shapped galley bears witness to this same desire for a fine balance: double-sink unit, gimballed stove with oven, cupboard unit, lockers... ocean-cruising fittings in short. Below decks on Sun Shine 38, one gets the feeling that the touch of class and the comfort of the saloon are out do each other. The light flooding in through the numerous ports illuminates the oiled-teak woodwork and highlights the superb match of the materials used. The luxury and know-how evident the layout within the spacious interior generates the impression of a truly " vintage " unit. The balance of the contours and the design do not only make for the Sun Shine 38's superb silhouette. The outline also creates a large-battened cockpit in which every crew member has is place. From the stemhead casting with its twin bow-rollers to the aft-pulpit passing through the return lines and triple and quadruple jammers of the six 2-speeds winches, the deck fittings are up to the standard of the Sun Shine 38's seagoing prowess. This deck arrangement, to match the demands of the most finicky regatta-person, is above all through out to make handling easier when short-crewed. By multiplying solutions, this deck plan determines and specifies each function on the running rigging. Under sail, Sun Shine 38 has excellent directional stability. The yacht's steering allows not one degree of deflection, rough water is tossed aside by the fine water entry; unruffled, her superb hull makes unwavering headway in perfect equilibrium. Her unbridled hull lines, her long waterline length, her small wetted surface despite wide midsections are the stuff of wonder. The pleasure-boat sailor will appreciate the level of daily mean speeds achieved with maximum comfort preserved. Sun Shine 38 is built following Jeanneau's hard-and-fast formula: lay-up by hand, stratification work by hand, bulkheads sealed into the hull and deck. Inner mouldings, uniquely for finishing purposes, form no part of the boat's structure. Sun Shine 38's hull is built using Aramat K, stratified glass/Kevlar composite which affords double resistance to shock of simple glass stratification.

The Sun Shine 38 is a French sailboat that was designed by Tony Castro as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1987. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The design is a development of the Sun Shine 36 with a longer and sharper transom , giving it a longer waterline length and thus higher hull speed . [1] [2] [6] [7] [8]

• 1 Production
• 3 Operational history
• 5 References
• 6 External links

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1987 to 1989, in both "team" and "owners" versions, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [9] [10]

The Sun Shine 38 is a recreational keelboat , built predominantly of fiberglass using Aramat K, which is a stratified glass/ Kevlar composite material . It has a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a sharply reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and retractable centerboard. The fin keel version displaces 12,677 lb (5,750 kg) and carries 4,850 lb (2,200 kg) of ballast, while the centerboard-equipped version displaces 12,677 lb (5,750 kg) and carries 5,776 lb (2,620 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [5]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 6.23 ft (1.90 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 6.89 ft (2.10 m) with the centerboard extended and 4.08 ft (1.24 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water. [1] [2]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 22 U.S. gallons (83 L; 18 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 53 U.S. gallons (200 L; 44 imp gal). [1] [2] [8]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the companionway on the starboard side. There is also a single sink located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and inside the aft cabin. [1] [2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker . [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.63 kn (14.13 km/h). [2]

Operational history

In a 2014 used boat review David Liscio wrote, "with a fast hull and strong rig, the lightweight Sunshine 38 is capable of efficiently capturing a gentle breeze or taking on a gusty blow. Just as Castro planned, it's the perfect combination of speed and comfort." [8]

Jeanneau Sun Shine 36

Jeanneau Sun Shine 36 is a 36 ′ 5 ″ / 11.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Tony Castro and built by Jeanneau starting in 1982.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Production version of IOR 1 ton. Similar to SUN SHINE 38 but with truncated stern.

Keel/CB version: Draft: BD: 6.80’/2.07m BUD: 4.10’/1.25m Disp.: 12544 lbs./5690 kgs.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

ROSATOM and FEDC agree to cooperate in the construction of Russia's first onshore SNPP

ROSATOM and FEDC have signed a cooperation agreement to build Russia's first onshore SNPP in Yakutia.

Rosatom develops nuclear fuel for modernized floating power units

Rosatom has completed the development of nuclear fuel for the RITM-200S small modular reactor designed for the upgraded floating power units.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
