The Shape of Things to Come

Anyone who makes the trip to Annapolis, MD this October to attend the United States Sailboat Show, will be pleased to discover the new Sun Odyssey 42DS.

This exciting new model follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, the 49DS and 54DS and features the same modern styling that has made Jeanneau the number one name in deck salons throughout the world. Designed by Vittorio Garroni in collaboration with naval architect Marc Lombard, the 42DS features an ultra modern hull, providing exceptional speed while under sail or power.

Other noteworthy features include:

• Twin steering wheels for easy manuevering and comfort in the cockpit
• Long Harken roof-mounted mainsheet track
• Harken self-tailing winches
• Large cockpit table with plenty of room to accommodate the Raymarine C70 or E70 Chartplotter.
• Molded table base providing both height and ventilation to the aft cabin below.
• Conveniently placed genoa winches mounted within easy reach of the helm stations.
• Below decks, the raised cabin sole has deliberately been kept low in order to make full use of the space under the side decks.

The interior, like that of all our deck salons, is open and bright with plenty of ventilation. 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.

A modern L-shaped galley with plenty of storage, large sink, and 12v refrigerator is located on the starboard side while a large traditional navigation station can be found just opposite on the port side.

All things considered, this newest addition to the Jeanneau family is nothing short of fantastic and sure to draw attention and praise from all who see it. Don't miss this exciting new model sailing your way this fall.
