The Sun Odyssey 490 is a 49-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat designed by Phillipe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton. Built in 2020, she combines thoughtful deck layout with substantial interior volume. A single Yanmar diesel engine of 80 horsepower provides auxiliary power. The hull design emphasizes both sailing performance and comfort for extended cruising.
The cockpit is arranged for efficient sailing, with all sheets led to the helm for single or double-handed operation. The walk-around decks facilitate movement along the hull, while the aft cockpit lounge features convertible coamings that convert to sun beds across the full eight-foot width of the stern. Interior access to the main salon reveals an open concept galley and dining area lit by multiple windows and hatches throughout. The navigation station includes an aft-facing bench that doubles as a work area or coffee nook.
Accommodation is provided across two cabins and two heads. The forward stateroom features a square queen berth with full walkspace on either side and a centerline shower offering 6'6" headroom. Central storage below the bunk accommodates a television. The galley is positioned midship, placing the cook within easy reach of the main salon and supporting meal service while underway.
