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

Comfort ratio 22
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.03
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 167
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.0
TenderStiff

28% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 28%

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

What the fleet has seen

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i, 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 36i is a fractional sloop designed by Marc Lombard, built by Jeanneau from 2009, and also sold as the Sunsail 36i. With an LOA of 10.9 meters, a beam of 3.6 meters, and a draft of 1.9 meters, it displaces 5699 kg. Aboard *Sailing Yacht Ula*, the crew navigates the Aegean and Mediterranean, encountering conditions from light winds requiring motor-sailing to 40-knot gusts and significant sea states. They manage battery issues, including a precise battery replacement and a solar regulator failure requiring a new 20-amp MPPT controller.1:01 The crew performs routine maintenance such as deck cleaning and anti-fouling haul-outs, and undertakes a complete rigging replacement.9:35 They frequently adjust plans due to weather, seeking sheltered anchorages in Malta for 35-knot winds and altering courses in Sicily due to poor conditions.15:23 Passages include transiting the Corinth Canal, where they faced 35-knot gusts and heavy swell, and cruising the Aeolian Islands, which presented challenges with heavy ferry traffic and crowded anchorages.6:20
