Sailing yachtJeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

Sun Odyssey 349 debuted in Paris in 2013. She was awarded the Sailing World Yacht of the Year title in the USA in 2015. By that time over 100 hulls had already been built.

Exterior and Interior Design

The 349 by Marc Lombard replaces his own project SO33i. At the time of launch, the SO349 was the smallest model in the Jeanneau range and received good feedback on the layout of the cabin and cockpit. The puffiness of the hull (3.44m at 9.97m) is concealed by a low superstructure, while the extended sides add volume to the interior. Instead of a single rudder post, two rudder pens, a bathing platform, an optional range without an ahterstag and three keel versions are added.

Amenities on board

With a similar layout to the 33i, the SO349 saloon became light and airy, with the addition of windows on the sides. Two and three cabin versions are available. The advantages of the first are a large storage room, a full bathroom and a wider aft deck chair. In the forward cabin, an interesting solution with double doors is used to increase space.

Features

The large sail area turns a family cruiser into a nearly sporting boat, adding to the experience for the family crew with children or guests. At moderate cost, the SO349 will not crush the family budget and will give many discoveries.

Swimming area

The Sun Odyssey 349 is perfect for weekend cruises or holiday coastal voyages. With 130l of fuel and 206l of water, the family can spend a night or two in a «wilderness» parking lot.
