Jeanneau sailboats are known for excellent sailing performance and craftsmanship. This vintage 1985, 36 Jeanneau Sunshine has had only 2 owners and is ready to sail the Chesapeake Bay. She has two aft cabins and a generous v-berth; forward 1-head layout; ample cockpit; and plenty of storage. The tall interior offers comfort and functionality. The salon and the well-equipped galley provide all you need to prepare and enjoy relaxing meals.
We purchased her when our kids were young and shared years of cruising with family and friends. At the same time, single-handed sailing is manageable with lines conveniently run to the cockpit. She is clean and ship shape with newer main sail and jib. We enjoyed a comfortable cruise up the Chester River in Summer of 23 but, in our retiring years, we are transitioning to a trawler for a different cruising experience. A recent inspection revealed age-related softness on the deck and cockpit floor. These issues can be scheduled for the near future so the upcoming sailing season can be enjoyed.
She is currently in a slip paid through 2024 in Kent Island, MD.
The outside hull was cleaned and bottom painted in fall 2023 with an antifouling ablative paint. Electrical: Shore Power and DC 2 batteries, 1 starting & 1 deep cycle, trickle-charger. Depth sounder, compass, VHF radio and handset. Draft: 4.5 with swing keel to 6. Additional equipment: second anchor for anchoring in heavy winds/current Inside equipment: DC Automatic Bilge Pump, Marine Head; Propane 2 burner stove and oven. Rigging: Sloop Sails (main-1yo and jib-5y), roller furling jib. Propulsion: Yanmar Inboard Diesel (Model 3GM, 23hp) Bronze 3 blade propeller; annually maintained.

Lets get you on the water in time for making wonderful memories cruising the Bay in 2024
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
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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.
