Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440, introduced in 2017, features a 14-foot beam carried well aft, twin rudders, and a walk-around cockpit design with sloping side decks that eliminate the need to step over guests.0:52 The deck layout includes an electric windlass on a stubby bowsprit, a deck-stepped furling mast standing 65 feet, and inboard-mounted lower shrouds.3:28 Construction consists of a solid hand-laid fiberglass hull with a balsa-cored, injection-molded deck.3:39 The interior offers two or three-cabin configurations, with the three-cabin model featuring roomy heads and glass-enclosed showers.4:23 Power is provided by a Yanmar engine with a shaft-driven propeller; a bow thruster is recommended to compensate for the lack of prop wash over the twin rudders during low-speed maneuvering.7:30 While the boat provides significant living space and a large master stateroom, it carries a low comfort ratio of 21, which can result in a rolly motion in heavy seas compared to older, narrower designs.6:44 Limited saloon seating also restricts its utility for entertaining large groups.6:19
