What this video covers

Thomas Nilsson and Jens Petter Flesvig of Heitmann walk through the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455, a new model positioned for the Norwegian market at roughly 5.5–6 million NOK fully equipped.▶ 0:20 The hull's extended knuckle span pushes volume into the bow, converting the forward cabin from a cramped V-berth into a full-size double with the headboard at the bow.▶ 1:42 A utility room aft of the galley can house a washing machine, an extra refrigerator, or a separate head.▶ 1:12 The galley runs longitudinally, using the boat's beam to allow a full U-shaped layout; the top-loading refrigerator extends deep under the counter for maximum storage.▶ 2:28 Inboard chainplates between upper and lower shrouds clear the side decks for easier passage.▶ 3:06 Winches are recessed so crew can grind without blocking the cockpit.▶ 4:07 A side storage compartment can take a life raft or a generator, though Flesvig notes most buyers now choose lithium and skip the generator.▶ 3:24 All running rigging leads to the coachroof, and large chart plotters sit on raised pods at the helm.▶ 4:20 Jeanneau has standardised the tall rig across the range to reduce build complexity and hold prices down; Flesvig calls the 455 competitively priced in its segment, as the 415 already is in the 40-foot class.▶ 5:11
