2011 Jeanneau 44i, USD 129.000,-

S/V Xaron is a Saint Martin based 2011 Jeanneau 44i, designed by naval architect Philippe Briand,  a finely balanced cruising sloop that marries responsive hull performance with an exceptionally liveable interior. Its design intent is clear: deliver seakeeping and speed for passagemaking while providing the volume and comfort families and cruiser-racers expect. The "i" denotes Jeanneau's injection-moulded deck construction, contributing to precise fit-and-finish and an efficient strength-to-weight ratio.

On deck the 44i is organized for straightforward, short-handed sailing. A fractional sloop rig and an efficient keel profile give predictable helm balance and good upwind ability, while twin-wheel helms and a roomy cockpit provide clear sightlines and safe crew movement. Sail handling is typically set up with a roller-furling headsail and options for reefing or furling mainsail systems, making reefing and sail changes efficient even with a small crew.

Below, the interior layout is exceptionally adaptable. The standard arrangement offers four cabins convertible to three, each served by en-suite heads in many configurations — a configuration that makes the 44i particularly attractive for family cruising, guests or owner-operator use. The saloon is bright and airy with generous headroom and smart ergonomics; the galley and nav station are positioned for practical access and offshore convenience, with abundant storage and refrigeration capacity for extended cruising.

Systems are configured for reliability and ease of maintenance, and the 44i accepts a range of auxiliary engine and electronics packages to match intended use, from coastal cruising to longer passages. In summary, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i is a technically capable, comfort-oriented platform: performance-minded yet family-friendly, well suited to owners who want a sailboat that handles confidently and lives comfortably at anchor or underway.
