Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45
Description
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 is a French cruising sailboat designed by Philippe Briand and the Jeanneau design team, introduced in 2005 and produced until around 2007. It was crafted as a versatile family cruiser with a focus on performance, comfort, and ease of handling, appealing to both private owners and charter fleets. Built with a solid fiberglass hull and balsa-cored deck, it features a fractional sloop rig optimized for short-handed sailing. Approximately 150-200 units were produced, with variants including deep-draft and shoal-draft keels.
