The new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440, launched late last year, has just been announced as European Yacht of the Year 2018 winning the ‘Family Cruiser’ category.
The prestigious award follows on from the SO440 winning the SAIL Magazine Best Boats and the Cruising World awards, and is judged by twelve editors and boat testers from sailing magazines across Europe.
Announced at the Dusseldorf Boat Show over the weekend, the Sun Odyssey 440, as the first of the new generation, was complimented by Toby Hodges from Yachting World as “…hands-down the most impressive for its forward thinking in terms of hull shape, cockpit design and interior layout.”
Hodges went onto say that “The realisation of the volume gained from a full bow is shrewd, while the sloping side decks that make for a walk-around cockpit is one of those game-changing ideas that you can expect to see copied by others in the future.”
Three Sun Odyssey 440 models are already ordered for Australia. The first one will arrive in March and will premiere at the Sydney International Boat Show.
This is one of the last Catana 58 catamarans ever built, and she was, more or less, a custom project and meant to be the rocket ship version of this all time classic world voyaging catamaran. Her owner made use of carbon fiber in every area of the build to bring down her weight. Careful decisions were made at every turn on her build to make her the fastest Catana 58 ever built. And she is that.
Go over her specifications, examine her interior, her inventory, and what you have here is a near-new boat, built to the highest possible standards, for an amazing price. A yacht such as this could not be duplicated today for anything less than US$2,300,000. She has every possible piece of high-end equipment you can add to a performance cruising cat.
She is one of my personal “best values” catamarans for someone wanting a near new boat of this size that has the get up and go to sail anywhere in the world in speed and comfort.
