[edit on Wikidata]

The Sun Charm 39 is a French sailboat that was designed by Jacques Fauroux as a cruiser and first built in 1988.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The Sun Charm's basic hull design was developed into the Sun Fast 39 racer in 1989 and the cruising Sun Odyssey 39 in 1990.[1][2][7][8][9][10]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1988, but it is now out of production.[1][2][6][11][12]

Design

The Sun Charm 39 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom with steps to a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 14,330 lb (6,500 kg) and carries 5,401 lb (2,450 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.42 ft (1.96 m) with the standard keel and 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 37 U.S. gallons (140 L; 31 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 95 U.S. gallons (360 L; 79 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The main cabin has a U-shaped settee around a rectangular table on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is equipped with a stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is aft of the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one forward of each aft cabin.[1][2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.63 kn (14.13 km/h).[2]
