Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.1

A cruising sailboat known for its robustness and interior volume, this Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.1 from 1994 is a well-maintained owner’s unit optimized for extended cruises. It has recently crossed the Atlantic in January 2024, fully demonstrating its offshore capabilities and long-distance navigation reliability.

Featuring spacious accommodations with 4 cabins, 2 heads, and a bright saloon, it offers excellent onboard living comfort for a family crew or extended cruising plans. The functional galley and ample storage make life onboard enjoyable and practical, even during prolonged passages.

The boat benefits from increased autonomy thanks to a modern energy system including 600 W of solar panels and a recent GEL battery pack. The onboard electronics are complete and focused on long-distance cruising, with Garmin GPS, AIS, Raymarine autopilot with hydraulic ram, VHF with integrated GPS, and Starlink connectivity for communication at sea.

The rig, replaced in 2019, is sound and suitable for offshore navigation. The Elvström Hydranet sails, recently serviced, provide good performance and durability. The sail plan includes an asymmetrical spinnaker and a roller furling forestay, allowing versatile and efficient sailing.

The Yanmar 60 HP engine, regularly maintained, ensures reliable and safe propulsion. Some technical elements require attention or upgrades (bow thruster out of service, radar to be checked, teak deck wear), but overall, the vessel remains coherent and immediately ready to sail.

Currently based in Guadeloupe, this Sun Odyssey 42.1 presents an excellent opportunity for a long-distance cruise project, onboard living, or a return to offshore navigation on a proven and fully autonomous vessel.
