1983 Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40, EUR 22,000

The Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40 (1983) is a classic performance cruiser known for her seaworthiness, spacious layout, and strong sailing characteristics. Equipped with a retractable keel (1.30 m / 2.15 m) and powered by a 41HP Perkins engine, she presents an interesting refurbishment project for sailors looking for a capable yacht with plenty of potential.

The accommodation includes three double cabins, a convertible saloon with renewed upholstery (2018), and two Jabsco Twist’n’Lock manual toilets installed in 2022. Her warm teak interior is complemented by a practical galley fitted with a gimballed gas cooker and oven, refrigerator, hot water system connected to shore power, and approximately 400L freshwater capacity.

The sail setup features a Hood full-batten mainsail, Elvstrom furling genoa, and Doyle triradial spinnaker, managed through eight Lewmar winches, including four self-tailing models.

Navigation and onboard equipment include a Raymarine autopilot with Smart Controller, Raymarine ST60 wind instruments, NASA Clipper depth/log system, Plastimo compass, fixed and portable VHF radios, and an electric anchor windlass.

Additional equipment includes a Besenzoni folding passerelle/swim platform, Duarry 8-person liferaft, Kapa dinghy with Yamaha 8HP outboard, Victron battery charger, shore power system, and Panasonic HiFi audio setup.

The yacht requires considerable refit work and should be viewed as a project boat. Recent survey recommendations include engine and gearbox inspection, keel and pivot servicing, structural repairs in several areas, replacement of the standing rigging, and inspection of electrical and electronic systems. Various maintenance and modernization works are also recommended.

A solid and spacious yacht offering an excellent base for restoration, ideal for buyers searching for an affordable bluewater cruiser with character and long-term potential.
