Building and history
Polyester boat Sun Fizz built in 1981 by the Jeanneau shipyard (Les Herbiers).
The Sun Fizz is an elegant design by architect Philippe Briand, with robust traditional construction and fairly voluminous hull shapes allowing for the necessary load for a journey.
The current owner bought it in 2015 in Chile and has since traveled the coasts of Latin America - Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica - before arriving in French Polynesia in early June 2025. He is selling it due to health issues and is offering it at this price for a quick sale.
