This 1994 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.1 is a cruising sailboat built around durability, interior volume, and proven offshore capability. The boat recently completed an Atlantic crossing in January 2024, demonstrating its reliability and preparation for extended passage work.
The interior layout includes three cabins, two heads, and a spacious, well-lit saloon designed for comfortable long-term cruising. A galley running fore-and-aft and generous storage throughout make living aboard practical for a full crew. Ventilation is good, and several key systems have been updated recently. The boat carries a reinforced electrical setup with 600 watts of solar panels and a newer GEL battery bank.
Electronics are comprehensive and oriented toward offshore cruising: Garmin GPS, AIS, a Raymarine autopilot with hydraulic drive, VHF with integrated GPS, and Starlink connectivity. The rigging was renewed in 2019, and Elvström Hydranet sails have been maintained recently. A full sail plan includes a large headsail, main, asymmetric spinnaker, and detachable forestay for flexibility. The single 59-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine receives regular maintenance and provides reliable auxiliary power.
The boat remains fully operational and immediately seaworthy. Some areas—the bow thruster, radar system, and deck components—require attention, but these do not affect core cruising functionality. Maximum speed reaches 8 knots, with a typical cruising speed of 6.5 knots.
