2014 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 469

The 2014 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 469 is a 46-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat built on a proven design by Philippe Briand. The hull is hand-laid fiberglass with an injection-molded deck, and the boat features a glassed-in structural grid to handle sailing loads. Power comes from a 54-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, with cruising speeds around 7 knots and a maximum speed of 11 knots. The beam of nearly 15 feet delivers substantial interior volume and deck space for a boat this size.

Below deck, the yacht offers three cabins and two heads. The boat is equipped with a 3-blade feathering MaxProp, bow thruster, and electric winches. Sails include newer Ullman FiberPath Enduro Cruising Laminate sails and a cruising spinnaker with sock. An aluminum double-spreader mast and iron fin keel with bulb complete the sailing platform.

The systems and comforts on board include a diesel heater, AGM batteries, and a Magnum Inverter/Charger with remote system monitoring. A full cockpit enclosure provides weather protection, and the boom features leisure furling for easier sail handling. These features make the boat well-suited for extended cruising.
