The highly anticipated Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350 has made waves in the sailing community, and we’re excited to share an in-depth look at this impressive vessel through Yachting World’s comprehensive review. As your trusted partner at Bluenose Yacht Sales, we believe this new model represents an exciting evolution in Jeanneau’s popular line of sailing yachts.
Following in the wake of the incredibly successful Sun Odyssey 349 (which saw 1,200 units built), the new 350 brings modern innovations while maintaining the reliable characteristics that made its predecessor so popular. Let’s dive into what makes this vessel special.
Key Features and Improvements:
- Modern hull design by Marc Lombard with beam carried further aft
- Trademark walk-around decks, similar to larger models like the 380 and 410
- Larger bathing platform without compromising interior space
- Performance sail package option including flat deck furler and laminate sails
- Twin rudders for enhanced stability and control
- Available in both 2-cabin and 3-cabin configurations
- Starting price at €137,000 (base model)
Performance Highlights:
The review demonstrates impressive light-wind performance, with the boat achieving 6+ knots in just 11-12 knots of apparent wind when equipped with the Code Zero sail. This performance, combined with finger-light helm control and excellent stability, makes the 350 an ideal choice for both family cruising and more spirited sailing.
Interior Comfort:
Below deck, the 350 showcases Jean-Marc Piaton’s interior design expertise with:
- Bright, naturally lit spaces thanks to extended hull windows
- Practical galley layout with deep fridge and ample storage
- Versatile salon seating with convertible options
- Choice between two or three cabin layouts
- Practical head and shower configuration (especially in the two-cabin version)
At Bluenose Yacht Sales, we’re particularly excited about the SO350’s versatility and performance capabilities. Whether you’re a family looking for your first cruising yacht or an experienced sailor seeking a modern, efficient vessel, the Sun Odyssey 350 delivers on multiple fronts.
