This 2000 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40 is a 40-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat designed by Daniel Andrieu. Powered by a 55 hp Yanmar diesel engine, the boat combines proven performance with the generous interior volume the Sun Odyssey line is known for. The hull design delivers both speed and seaworthiness, making it well-suited to extended cruising in northern waters and beyond.
The cockpit is notably spacious, extending nearly to the stern with twin steering wheels—a feature uncommon among 39-foot yachts of its generation. Twin steering stations, wide deck layout, and an accessible mainsail traveler on the coachroof ease handling and passage movement. The cockpit includes bench seating, folding table, and abundant locker storage. The stern features a water drop profile with built-in swim steps and a shower. Shallow draft allows approach to protected anchorages.
Below deck, the three-cabin interior is finished in teak throughout. The salon includes a solid teak table, wide bench seating, and a captain's area to port with nav station. The galley is fully equipped, and storage lockers are distributed throughout. Two heads serve the interior, each with standard amenities; one includes a separate shower zone. Both aft cabins are spacious with generous storage.
The boat carries a Webasto diesel hydronic heater, 2000-watt inverter, and solar panels. The sail plan includes a furling mainsail and genoa furler for straightforward handling. The yacht is equipped with twin wheel steering, inboard shrouds, quality hardware, and stylish windows throughout.
