Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 469

A previous-model Jeanneau cruising yacht of 14.05 m with 3 to 4 cabins, suited to sailors wanting the space of a bigger boat in a more manageable size.

The Sun Odyssey 469 came from the design office of Philippe Briand, and she shows it in her clean lines and long hull with moderate freeboard. That shape gives her good looks and helps her sail well. Jeanneau no longer builds her, so you'll be looking at boats already on the water.

She took many of her main features from her larger sister, the 509. Below decks there's plenty of natural light, and the volume and comfort are closer to what you'd expect on a 50-foot boat. Layouts come with 3 or 4 cabins.

She's 14.05 m overall, with a hull length of 13.65 m, a beam of 4.49 m and a draught of 2.24 m. Tanks hold 240 l of fuel and 618 l of fresh water.
