SUMMARY:
Sunny is a well maintained, comfortable and proven offshore cruiser.
She is easily handled both offshore and in a marina. She is renowned for her fast sailing and is well equipped for long distance sailing.
A WORD FROM THE OWNERS:
"We are a family of four (Boy 10, Girl 8), from Texas who flew in January 2023 into French Polynesia with 13 bags and little sailing experience. What limited experience we had occurred on a monohull so although we knew we wanted to eventually upgrade to a catamaran, our first boat in the South Pacific was an early 90's solid monohull.
We learned of this catarman and briefly met the owners at the time as our time in French Polynesia overlapped. We saw first hand the condition of the boat and knew the high level of thought that the very experienced skipper put into selecting this Privilege catamaran to transport his family from Europe to the South Pacific. Skipping a year and half forward, we saw her become available just as we were selling our monohull, we jumped at the opportunity, realizing this was our chance to experience both an "affordable" yet top quality live-aboard ready catamaran.
We have cruised from French Polynesia to Australia and consider Fiji to offer the best of all South Pacific sailing locations. The friendliest people, beautiful islands, clear water, abundant sealife, protected anchorages, a great cruising community, and good access to affordable goods and services. SV Sunny is becoming available now due to a growing family desire to temporarily transition back to land life and structured school. We experienced an amazing tour via sailboat of the South Pacific and strongly encourage others with a similar dream to do the same.
Sunny is an easy-to-handle, solidly built boat that provides anyone with the confidence to explore beautiful, remote locations. When our family transitioned from an older monohull to SV Sunny, we commented, "It was like stepping into a well-appointed floating apartment. " She is in beautiful condition and completely blue water ready. "
Her previous owners, who had sailed Sunny (ex Belladonna) from the UK to Tahiti, wrote:
"Having already sailed around the world, we knew exactly what we were looking for in our next boat:
1) Seaworthy boat to provide a safe platform for us and our daughters
2) Easily sailed single-handed
3) Light and spacious with good headroom and large berths
4) Galley down so plenty of storage to hand
5) Good bridge deck clearance
6) Capable of 150nm+ day runs
7) Sails upwind well
8) Protected steering position

Electrics
The solar system is split into two independent systems for optimal generation.
400Ah of lithium batteries (equivalent to 720Ah of lead acid). Lithium batteries allow a more powerful windlass to be installed - and enables sailing off anchor without starting the engines. It also means the solar system is able to charge much more efficiently. The alternators are only needed for service battery charging in an emergency.
The original design is a single starter battery which starts both engines. This was reconfigured to allow each engine to run off its own starter battery for safety and peace of mind. Electrics include:
2 x 12v alternators with sterling protection devices
4 panels x 330w on Davits with 2 x Victron MPPT controller (2018)
Main Switchboard 12V DC
220V AC in Starboard engine compartment

Sail Inventory
Sunny's sail plan consists of a fully battened mainsail and furling genoa. She has an inner stay for mounting the storm sail. This sail plan allows the sails to be easily adapted to the sea and wind conditions.
Having the upgraded Harken Battcar system with 2:1 halliard and electric windlass makes reefing easy, even when sailing single-handed.
Mainsail and genoa upgraded specifications for offshore cruising:
- 10 oz dacron instead of 8oz
- C-Breeze cloth which is a medium grade cloth with high tenacity yarns in both directions - avoids vertical tears
- A&E Sunstop thread and Tenara PTFE for UV covers.
