Manufacturer's Description:
The Sun Odyssey 42DS boasts a modern, fluid design, a rare, timeless elegance, and the comfortable interior layout expected of a sailboat built for cruising, all while delivering a superior performance.
The powerful hull impresses, not simply for its excellent performance at sea, but also for its ease of handling due to its reinforced hull design and expertly designed sail plan.
Why the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS Is So Popular
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS remains a benchmark design in modern production cruising sailboats, sustaining strong market demand due to several key design characteristics:
The raised coachroof, developed by Garroni Design, incorporates oversized cat’s-eye side windows that illuminate the salon and provide standing-height panoramic views, eliminating the enclosed, low-visibility environment typical of traditional cruising cabins.
Unlike many forty-two-foot sailboats that fit twin cramped quarter-berths under the cockpit floor, the two-cabin Owner’s layout uses the yacht's 13' 7" beam to create an expansive aft master stateroom. This suite features an island king-size bed, extensive hanging storage, standing headroom throughout, and an en suite head with a fully enclosed separate stall shower.
Naval architect Marc Lombard paired this interior volume with an efficient underwater hull form shared with the Sun Odyssey 42i, providing steady tracking, low drag, and predictable motion in offshore conditions. The 5' 2" shoal draft bulb keel gives the yacht practical cruising flexibility, opening access to shallow anchorages throughout the Bahamas, Florida Keys, and coastal waterways while preserving the righting moment needed for offshore passages.
Finally, the sail controls, in-mast furling, and twin-wheel helm layout lead halyards and sheets to self-tailing winches directly beside the steering pedestals, enabling short-handed or single-handed sailing without requiring crew to leave the cockpit.
