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.

What the fleet has seen

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440, 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 440, designed by Philippe Briand and Piaton Bonet Yacht Design, is a fractional sloop built by Jeanneau from 2017 to the present, featuring a fin with bulb and dual rudders. The 13.0-meter LOA vessel has a 4.3-meter beam carried well aft, contributing to significant interior living space and a large master stateroom.1:05 Its deck layout includes a walk-around cockpit with sloping side decks, eliminating the need to step over coamings, and a deck-stepped furling mast standing 65 feet.3:28 Aboard *Practical Sailor*, the boat's construction is described as a solid hand-laid fiberglass hull with a balsa-cored, injection-molded deck.3:50 The interior offers two or three-cabin configurations, with the three-cabin model providing roomy heads and glass-enclosed showers.4:23 Power comes from a shaft-driven Yanmar engine, and a bow thruster is recommended for low-speed maneuvering due to the twin rudders.7:30 The boat's low comfort ratio of 21 suggests it may exhibit a rolly motion in heavy seas.7:11 Safety features include robust stanchions, high-tension lifelines, and a cockpit designed to keep crew within its confines, with all control lines led aft and roller furling for both jib and mainsail.5:39 The 2020 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 *Habibi* is equipped with a drop-down swim platform, a 60-meter anchor chain, and Raymarine navigation displays.5:59
