Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 509
Description
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 509 is a flagship cruising sailboat designed by Philippe Briand, representing the pinnacle of Jeanneau's performance-oriented Sun Odyssey series. Introduced in 2011 (model year 2012) and produced until 2015, it was built to blend timeless aesthetics, seaworthiness, and luxury for family or charter use. Constructed with a hand-laid solid fiberglass hull and injection-molded balsa-cored deck, it's rigged as a fractional sloop for easy shorthanded sailing. Approximately 200-300 units were produced, many as Sunsail 51 for charters. Variants include deep-draft (standard) and shoal-draft keels, with optional 360° Docking system (joystick-controlled rotating saildrive and thruster).
