Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.1

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

Equipped with spacious layout featuring 4 cabins, 2 bathrooms, and a bright salon, it offers excellent onboard living comfort for a family crew or extended cruising programs. The functional galley and numerous storage compartments make life onboard pleasant and practical, even during prolonged navigation.

The boat benefits from enhanced autonomy thanks to a modern energy system including 600 W of solar panels and a recent GEL battery bank. The onboard electronics are comprehensive and geared towards offshore cruising with Garmin GPS, AIS, Raymarine autopilot with hydraulic steering, VHF with integrated GPS, and Starlink connectivity for marine communication.

The rig, replaced in 2019, is healthy and suitable for offshore sailing. The Elvstrøm Hydranet sails, recently revised, ensure good performance and great durability. The sail plan is complemented by an asymmetrical spi and a roller furling genoa, allowing versatile and efficient sailing.

The Yanmar 60 HP engine, regularly maintained, provides reliable and secure propulsion. Some technical components require attention or upgrading (stern thruster out of service, radar to be revised, teak deck wear), but overall, the boat remains coherent and immediately sailable.

Currently based in Guadeloupe, this Sun Odyssey 42.1 presents an excellent opportunity for a long-range cruising project, aboard living, or resuming offshore navigation on a well-proven and fully autonomous unit.
