What this video covers

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350 features a walk-around side deck design that allows the helmsman to move forward without stepping into the cockpit or navigating stairs.0:48 This layout separates the helm from guests, providing clear access to sheet winches, engine controls, and clutches.0:54 The 34-foot, 13,000-pound cruiser replaces traditional steel jib tracks with Dyneema-based low-friction rings, offering increased sheeting angle control at the cost of repeatable settings.2:51 The rig is a 52-foot, double-spreader fractional setup with swept-back spreaders and no backstay, which increases cockpit space but limits rig adjustability.5:54 The boat includes a shaft-driven Yanmar engine rather than a sail drive and offers multiple keel configurations, including shoal, high-performance, and swing-keel options.7:54 Exterior chain plates allow for easier inspection, while the interior maximizes width by pushing settees to the hull sides.5:14 The vessel is designed as a weekender or pleasure craft rather than an offshore cruiser.6:44
