[1][2][9][10][11][12] The Sun Dance 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.
The hull has a raked stem, a step-equipped reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel.
[1][2] The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW) for docking and maneuvering.
The galley is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink.
In the Sun Dance 36, Jeanneau has redefined that illusory point at which family cruiser stops and megayacht begins.
