Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 25
CoastalBluewater

2.00 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.00
LightHeavy

159 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 159
EasygoingPowered-up

18.9 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.9
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 is a fractional sloop designed by Philippe Briand, built by Jeanneau from 2011 to the present. It measures 13.3 meters LOA with a 4.2-meter beam, a 2.2-meter draft, and displaces 9879 kg. A shoal draft option reduces the draft to 1.6 meters and the displacement to 3150 kg. A couple upgraded from a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 to a 60-foot Jeanneau Yacht, noting the larger boat's modern lines and practical two-handed sailing features.0:09 Aboard MJ Sailing, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 underwent a significant electrical refit, installing eight 48-volt, 105-amp-hour Dakota Lithium batteries to power an electric cooktop and air conditioning, requiring a custom settee redesign and careful structural mounting to accommodate the 40 kilowatt-hours of power.
