Yacht Charter High Performance From Restyled Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409

Sailing yacht charter gets easier, faster handling with Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409 redesign. New shape, sleeker look and attention to detail makes this a hot racing or family cruising, bareboat yacht charter winner.

Previewed at the recent 2010 Southampton Boat Show for its official launch in 2011, the all new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409, a 41ft  lo ng ‘Unlimited Ocean’ category A rating, has already been nominated by 11 different  countries for the prestigious 2010/2011 European Yacht of the Year Award.

Superseding the 39i, clever innovation informs the subtle redesign of the deck plan, including streamlining of side windows, together with a high-aspect rig.  Flush hatches incorporate a specially designed curved hatch in the forward cabin. Several choices of sail plan lends adaptability to every type of navigation for private and skippered yacht charter, and capable of delivering fast and supreme ease of handling for club racing or family cruising.

Incorporating latest advances in modern hull design, the hard chine (the join between the bottom and sides) on the aft section of the hull, increases stability for improved performance, whilst at the same time creates extra volume in the aft cabins.

Several personalised interior options are available, including a 3 cabin layout with 2 heads and separate shower compartment. Attention to detail reveals maximum light and ventilation from 8 hull ports, increased space from raised saloon roof, a new palette choice of high-end fabrics and a new generation of matte varnish flooring.

Perfect for family sailing holidays with the smoothest of passages on a Mediterranean yacht charter to discover the Greek islands of Delos, mythic birthplace of Apollo, or the eleven islands of the Ionian archipelago, Karpathos or Kefalonia.
