Class Leader Jeanneau 50DS Flexible Space Finesse and Performance Luxury Yacht Charter, Grenada
Jan 11th, 2011
Suave Italian interior design and spacious, raised three part cockpit, deck and floor concept elevates Jeanneau 50DS, smooth social sailing to top of the class, offshore skippered yacht charter cruising to tropical spice isle, Grenada.
A magnificent addition to the closed mould, light weight eco-hull performance cruising Sun Odyssey portfolio, the 15.07m LOA, twin-helmed Jeanneau 50DS is a classic yet flexible contemporary open space of Garroni bubble deck house design and Philippe Briand interior comfort chic. Light, airy and effortlessly cruising at 8.6 knots under sail or motor, a seamless sea view panorama is enjoyed through long-slash, wrap-around deck saloon windows, elongated hull ports - 4 fixed, 6 opening - plus access via 5 opening deck hatches, forward-facing.
Practical storage with saloon floor raised amidships and stunning, sculpted space below deck combine in a sumptuous interior saloon layout of gently curving, warm honey coloured Alpi teak and soft white U-shaped wrap-around cushion seating. Versatile flexibility provides for a choice of owner's cabin with skylight and central double berth forward or aft, with either two aft cabins or twin forward cabins transformable into single cabin, each with private head and shower.
An impressive list of equipment as standard includes a furling mainsail, long Harken traveller, double anchor rollers with powerful anchor windlass, forward sail locker, dedicated liferaft and fender storage. Jeanneau 50DS comes well-appointed in a 50 year boat building tradition of creating assured comfortable, relaxed long family sailing holiday cruising to the fine white sand beaches of Grenada, the ‘Island of Spice', northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, her horseshoe-shaped harbour capital, St Georges's, overlooked by rolling mountains covered with fragrant nutmeg spice trees and rare tropical flowers.
