Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 – 1999/2000 Sensibly priced at £49,950
A well specified example of the hugely popular Sun Odyssey 37. Arguably the most successful Jeanneau model of her build period, the hull is shaped by Jacques Fauroux offering a good blend of performance and comfort.
This example has the two-cabin ‘Owners’ layout with two good sized sleeping cabins outside of the main saloon, a larger heads/shower compartment with a separate showering area, and a deeper more generous cockpit locker to swallow a lot of cruising gear.
This example has been upgraded to suit comfortable coastal cruising or some more ambitious ‘Off-Grid’ adventures where a diesel genset, solar panels and a wind generator mounted on a sturdy stern gantry really would come into their own.
Fitted with a brand-new Beta Marine 35hp engine in 2021 (Only 225 hours run) and a new Raymarine Axiom 9 chart plotter & VHF Radios in 2020
