#1 RACE BOAT IN THE USA#1 DOUBLE HANDED RACE BOAT IN THE USA! Call us to learn more
The Sun Fast 3300 has won more doublehanded races on the east coast of the USA than any other boat and is one of the fastest growing classes in the world!
The Verdier/Andrieu designed Sun Fast 3300 has excelled in the offshore short-handed racing circuit, including 2nd in class in the 2022 Newport Bermuda Race, winning the inaugural Bermuda Shorthanded Return, 3rd in class in the 2023 Marion Bermuda Race, first in class in the 2022 and 2023 Ida Lewis Distance Race, and wins in the New England Solo Twin Championships and Sam Wetherill Races. Around the world, the Sun Fast 3300 won the 2023 ORC Doublehanded Worlds and came first in the doublehanded class and first in the ORC division of the Middle Sea Race.
The Sun Fast 3300 features many innovations, including an infusion-molded hull for added stiffness and reduced weight, twin rudders for greater control, a high-volume reverse bow for improved downwind performance, and a cockpit set up for shorthanded sailing. Sailing fully crewed, doublehanded or singlehanded, the Sun Fast 3300 is a blast to sail and can hit speeds in excess of 20 knots!
AVALON has been race tuned and optimized by Ken Read of North Sails and is ready to bring home the silver!
