Olympic Sea 42
|
Olympic Sea 42 was built from the Greek
firm Olympic Yachts, based on the Jeanneau model Sun Legende 41.
Although rather old in charter terms, this model was proven to be very
successful and reliable, so today (2007) there are still more than ten yachts
operating charters in Greece, when there is not a single one Sun Legende
available.
Performances and handling
Although she is an exact copy of Sun
Legende, the boat was built under the strict
Greek laws resulting to a 2 tons heavier
vessel (the extra weight is due to thicker
GRP hull and the use of led for the keel
-instead cast iron the French boat has).
The result is a boat which sails very well
at all weather and courses.
The handling is easy as there are furling
systems on both sails and all halyards,
control lines and sheets are lead aft to
either side of the companionway.
Accommodation
This boat was the first Greek built yacht
with high standards in finishing details,
similar to the French or German yachts.
Yet, the
saloon compared to modern yachts
looks old and "obsolete".
She can accommodate
6 guests in 3
double cabins -one V-berth forward and two
double-bedded cabins aft. There is one
head with shower, just behind the forward
cabin. Aft cabins follow a peculiar
system (first appeared in the Sun Fizz
followed by the Sun Legende), where one
cabin has only a sink and the other only a
toilette.
Four more guests can sleep in the saloon,
bringing the total accommodation to 10
guests!!! (don't do it.. The
boat is good enough for 6 only).
Charter price
The €2.050 price commended for a week's
charter is very good compared
with the same age and size yachts and excellent when
you compare with newer vessels.
