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