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 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 21
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.12
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 138
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.1
TenderStiff

27% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 27%

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

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

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 is a fractional sloop designed by Philippe Briand and Piaton Bonet Yacht Design, built by Jeanneau from 2017 to the present. It features a fin with bulb and dual rudders, an LOA of 13.0 meters, a beam of 4.3 meters, and a displacement of 8561 kg. The vessel is characterized by a wide aft cockpit with a flat-floor design and walk-around side decks that eliminate the need to step over seating or guests.8:15 Aboard *Sea Rails*, the crew navigated the Norwegian coast, including the commercial harbor of Bergen and the Sognefjord, utilizing the boat's maneuverability in narrow passages and anchoring in sheltered islets.watch The cockpit includes electric winches, Raymarine chart plotters, and engine controls offset to starboard.1:40 Below deck, the salon has a U-shaped settee and a customizable galley with a top-loading refrigerator. The forward master cabin features double doors and a dry head with a separate shower stall.4:19 The Sun Odyssey 440 has an integral bowsprit for a Code Zero or asymmetric spinnaker and in-mast furling.3:04 Its 14-foot beam carried well aft and twin rudders contribute to its stability, though its comfort ratio of 21 suggests a rolly motion in heavy seas compared to narrower designs.7:24 The boat is available in two or three-cabin configurations, with the three-cabin model offering roomy heads and glass-enclosed showers. A bow thruster is recommended for low-speed maneuvering due to the lack of prop wash over the twin rudders.7:47
