Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 24
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.06
LightHeavy

184 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 184
EasygoingPowered-up

17.5 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.5
TenderStiff

30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 30%

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

The cockpit spans over 4 meters, includes a folding table, and features dual helm stations with all running rigging routed under the coachroof.1:02 Aboard *SVN solovelanet*, sea trials in the Costa Azzurra with 7 to 10 knots of wind demonstrated agile handling and responsive performance, even with an in-mast furling mainsail.1:32 A 75-horsepower Yanmar engine and a high-overlap genoa provide power, while two electric winches near the helms facilitate sail handling by a small crew.3:35 The hull design maintains good sea-keeping qualities and immediate acceleration in light air.2:44 The 2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 Ds *Adeline B*, seen by *Berthon International*, features a two-cabin layout, a 75-horsepower Yanmar 4JH4TE engine, and an Onan 5.5-kilowatt generator.0:10 Its electronics include a Raymarine C90 chart plotter and ST70 displays, with a Dock and Go joystick system.0:51
