2002 45 Feet Jeanneau Sun Odyssey

 The Sun Odyssey 45 is a beautiful, fast, performance cruiser by Jeanneau. This one is a "one owner" boat, and equipped for serious cruising. Many Jeanneau 45s are sold for charter. Seldom do you find one purchased, equipped and being cruised privately by her original owner. The Jeanneau 45s are well designed, well built, fast, easily handled, (even by a short-handed crew) and very responsive and maneuverable. She has a deep fin keel with a bulb. Displacement is a healthy 20,570 lbs. Ballast is 7,100 lbs. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45s come in two, three and four cabin arrangements. This one is the comfortable three cabin, two head version.

She comes with several significant pluses over other Jeanneau 45s. She has an oversized 75 HP Yanmar diesel with very low (1000) engine hours at last check. She has a "tall rig" (plus 1.2 meters), for improved performance, especially upwind. And she is staysail equipped, a rare but a very welcome addition to an offshore performance cruiser. Both headsail and staysail are on Profurl roller furlers. All sheets & halyards from the two headsails and the mast are lead thru turning blocks and lead aft to the cockpit. The twin helms, (port & starboard, with instruments at each), are also a welcome design feature. The twin helms give you flexibility in helm position, an unobstructed cockpit, and an unobstructed walk-thru to the stern swim platform. She sports hydraulic backstay tensioning. She also has abundant storage in truely cavernous lockers inside and out, including a very large sail locker and gear locker forward! Being able to store sails and deck gear totally separate from the living quarters. Her two refrigeration and freezer compartments are also very large and capable of handling lots of provisions for extended passages.

Other very desireable pluses we can't fail to mention, include: a Fisher 4 kw generator, with very low (500) hours), two reverse cycle heat & air-conditioning units, five batteries, a three blade, feathering Max-Prop, a spinnaker pole, full batten main with Harken track & bearing bat-cars, a robust Harken traveler, a Lewmar 48, electric winch on the cabintop, 2kw radar, chart plotter, nav instruments with repeaters, (both helms & navigation desk), auto-pilot, inverter, electric flush head and a 17" flat screen TV. If you are looking for a serious performance cruiser in this price and size range you should see this boat.
