Launched by Jeanneau in 2006, the Sun Odyssey 42 DS belongs to that generation of raised-saloon cruisers that redefined cruising comfort: a light-filled saloon, a real view outside from the chart table, and liveability that never compromises the yard's seagoing qualities. Swiss flagged, this pre-owned example is offered at €109,000 VAT not paid and will suit crews looking for a well-sorted, ready-to-use bluewater cruiser.
Build and seakeeping
Polyester hull with a GRP - fibreglass deck, a proven structure. At 12.59 m overall, 4.13 m beam and 2.60 m draft for a displacement of 8,900 kg, the 42 DS is a stable, powerful platform upwind and downwind alike. The rig is complete: standing and running rigging, winches, mainsail traveller, backstay, halyard turning blocks and spinnaker gear, all handled from twin wheels. The sail wardrobe includes two in-mast furling mainsails, two genoas and a spinnaker / gennaker.
Power and accommodation
The 2006 YANMAR 4JH AE, a 4-cylinder seawater-cooled unit with 3,400 hours, drives a shaft transmission. Expect 6 knots cruising for around 2 l/h and 10 knots top speed, with 125 litres of diesel and 400 litres of fresh water. Below, 2 cabins and 4 berths, up to 8 people on board, with a full galley (hob, oven, microwave with grill from 2024, electric fridge), hot water renewed in 2023, TV and radio / hi-fi.
