Philippe Briand, in collaboration with the Jeanneau Design Team, has created the first high-quality cruiser, the SUN ODYSSEY 26. With exceptional live-aboard capabilities, and an unequaled cockpit width on a sailboat 7,50 m long, you can imagine yourself at the helm of a much bigger vessel. This modern and stylish configuration is adapted from the “open” class of ocean racing monohulls, and brings with it top sailing performance and exceptional performance at sea. Available in either a ballasted centerboard or the patented twin keel version, you can visit your favorite anchorages thanks to a minimal draft of 0,70 m.
The wide cockpit of the SUN ODYSSEY 26 promises security and comfort. It’s ideal for the crew made up of family and friends, as the deck layout is open and easy to handle. With a mainsail area of 18,5 m2 and a standard furling genoa, well-placed winches on each side of the companionway make for easy manoeuvring. The SUN ODYSSEY 26 has lots of storage areas for all of your gear.
An amazing amount of room below. Bright, relaxing, and comfortable, the salon of the SUN ODYSSEY 26 offers all the comfort you need for extended cruising. With more than 1,80 m of standing headroom, you can easily move about below without getting in the way of your children or crew. From the companionway steps, serving as engine cover for the quiet 19 Hp diesel engine, you have access to all areas below. To starboard, a clever built-in kitchen unit with sink, stove, and storage. To port, an protected independent shower zone (shower optional) in the head. At the center, the large salon bench seat surrounding the table, leaving free access to the forward bunk. And towards the stern, you find the big aft cabin, with a berth measuring 2 m x 1,60 m, stretching the beam of the entire boat. Lots of storage space, a stylish selection of fabric, and your sea story is ready to begin…
