Accommodation and Design:
The Sun Odyssey
409 yacht replaces the 39i, of which more than 1,000 were built, so it
started from a pretty successful base, and the innovation starts from there.
Most changes are smart details, but the biggest one is the fact that the 409
has a hard chine running from about midships aft, fairly high on the
topsides. This has given more interior volume in the aft cabin, and extra
stability when sailing.
Like her predecessor Sun Odyssey 39i, the Sun Odyssey 409 is solid hand-laid
fiberglass, with cored decks, and comes with either a 6'10' or 5'1'
cast-iron keel, depending on how you intend to use the boat. Most long-range
cruisers would probably opt for the longer keel.
Designer Philippe Briand and the Jeanneau design team have given a lot of
thought to the cockpit layout. With short-handed sailing growing ever more
popular, all the sail handling lines and winches are laid out within easy
reach of the person on the helm. This means that the 409 can be easily
sailed by the ever growing band of cruising couples.
