This 2007 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 Performance is a design by Philippe Briand built to balance offshore capability with responsive sailing performance. The Performance variant features a deep keel, taller mast, and expanded sail plan compared to the standard Sun Odyssey 49. Hull material is fiberglass with a beam of nearly 15 feet, supported by a single 75-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. Maximum speed is 8.4 knots with a cruising speed of 7.2 knots.
The sail package is current, with a Quantum mainsail fitted with Tides Marine track system, genoa, and Code 0 spinnaker all completed in 2023. Standing rigging uses Dyform stainless steel and running rigging is Dyneema for low stretch and reliable control. A fully adjustable backstay enables precise tuning, and a racing furler with twin-groove foil and removable drum accommodates both cruising and competitive sail handling. The rig supports an optional gennaker furler for enhanced downwind performance. A Max-Prop feathering propeller reduces drag while sailing.
Below deck, the boat sleeps across three cabins with two heads. The cockpit is kept open and functional with the mainsheet traveler positioned on the coachroof rather than cluttering the working space. The short racing pulpit is integrated into the design for tactical efficiency.
