Used Sailboat Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 DS

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 DS (2009) is a highly regarded cruising yacht, combining comfortable accommodation with dependable sailing performance. Designed by Marc Lombard and built by Jeanneau, this example features the sought-after deck saloon layout, providing excellent natural light and visibility below. Constructed in GRP with a fin keel and spade rudder, she offers a stable and responsive sailing experience. Powered by a reliable Yanmar 4JH4AE 54hp diesel engine with shaft drive, she is economical to run and well suited to extended cruising. Sail handling is straightforward thanks to the in-mast furling mainsail and furling genoa (both Crusader, 2016), supported by an electric winch and all lines led aft to the cockpit. The yacht benefits from a well-developed electrical setup, including 445W of solar panels, wind generator, upgraded charging systems, and inverter, giving her strong off-grid capability. Navigation is well specified with Raymarine electronics, AIS transponder, radar, and autopilot. Accommodation includes two cabins plus saloon berths, providing comfortable sleeping for up to six, with two heads compartments. Additional onboard comforts include Webasto heating, a well-equipped galley, and ample storage throughout.

HISTORY
Launched in 2009, this yacht has been privately used for cruising and has clearly benefited from attentive and knowledgeable ownership. She was laid up during 2020–2021 and saw limited use in 2023, with more regular sailing resumed in 2024 and 2025. Maintenance has been consistent, including overhaul of both the electric windlass and winch in recent years. The yacht was ashore from August 2025 to May 2026 for servicing, antifouling, and anode replacement. The standing rigging is original but has been regularly inspected, with detailed photographic records available to prospective purchasers. Overall, she presents as a well-cared-for and well-prepared cruising yacht.
