Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS is a 2007-present sailboat model designed by P. Briand, featuring a fin keel with a bulb and a classic rig. Its deck saloon design maximizes interior light and living space, though its high freeboard and large coachroof contribute to a bulky aesthetic. The boat measures 13.8 m LOA, with a 4.4 m beam, 2.0 m draft, and 9900 kg displacement. The cockpit spans over 4 meters, includes a folding table, a large port-side locker, and a transom compartment for a life raft.0:47 Dual helm stations simplify steering, and all running rigging routes under the coachroof to the cockpit.1:02 Side decks are narrow due to the coachroof width and shroud placement.0:47 During sea trials in the Costa Azzurra with 7 to 10 knots of wind, the vessel demonstrated agile handling and responsive performance, despite an in-mast furling mainsail.1:32 A high-overlap genoa and a 75-horsepower Yanmar engine provide power.3:35 Two electric winches near the helms allow for easy sail handling by a small crew.2:44 The hull design maintains good sea-keeping qualities and immediate acceleration in light air.2:44
