Owners Comments




We are looking for a passionate new owner for our Sun Fast 3300—a boat ready to take on the next TransQuadra, Cap Martinique 2028, Fastnet, and IRC/ORC races. We want someone who will enjoy *Plain Vanilla* (NED 12) at least as much as we have; in such hands, this exceptionally well-equipped racing yacht will be well cared for. An offshore racing yacht fully prepared and race-ready for the Transquadra, Cap Martinique, Fastnet, and IRC or ORC events.

One-owner boat, consistently professionally maintained (Jeanneau; CGMarine; Pierre-Edouard Regoud).
Prepared for racing with the "Orlabay" training group in La Trinité-sur-Mer; wintered ashore.
Since September 2024, the boat has been based in Scheveningen, Netherlands. It has not been used for competition since early 2025.


*Plain Vanilla* (NED 12) won the Scheveningen winter regattas in 2024 and 2025.
In 2026, the boat was set up for IRC and ORC rules (certified/inspected sails, electronics and equipment replaced) and continuously optimized for the 2026 regatta season to maintain its unique, high-performance configuration. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our participation in these races for personal reasons.
2026 IRC Rating = 1.024

2025 ORC Rating = 555.4
