 Sun
Odyssey 42 DS
|
The French ocean-racing yacht
designer Marc Lombard, designed the beamy hull on Jeanneau's new 42DS.
Atop that platform is a raised deck or deck saloon with
signature styling from Italian Vittorio Garroni.
Performances and handling
To say the yacht is easy to sail is
understating it. The boat comes
standard with in-mast furling and a
snap-to-tack 120 per cent genoa.
Leave the cockpit to go forward and you
will find unfettered access along wide walkways that
lead all the way to the bow. With the shrouds split you
can waltz along these decks without fighting the
rigging.
Meanwhile, twin wheels afford the
helmsperson a good view forward and
there's a walk-through transom with
moulded steps leading down to the
ocean.
Accommodation
The interior, like that of all our
deck salons, is open and bright |

with plenty of ventilation. While predominantly teak, the satin
joinery is nice and light thanks to lots of windows and
hatches.
The nav station is to port near a
lounge and U-shaped settee opposite that are both long enough to
use as impromptu beds or, more likely, sea berths. There
is even the factory option of having a convertible
dinette to make a double bed should you think you'll
need it.
A very spacious
owner's cabin, complete with queen size island berth, is
located aft along with an extremely large head and
shower. A second guest cabin and head are located all
the way forward giving owners and guests plenty of
privacy and room to move around.
This is very
much a yacht that's been designed to assuage
footloose cruising types coveting more
comforts than usual in a yacht.
Charter price
The Sun Odyssey 42ds comes only with a
2-cabin layout, so it is not so popular with
the charter agencies. If you find one
to charter, this should be at the range of
€3.300 per week, which is an average price
for a yacht of this size.
This boat targets to sailors who put their
comfort above performances -and costs.
