2003 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43' -- Well-Equipped Cruising Yacht
A fast, well-maintained and genuinely cruising-ready Sun Odyssey 43, loaded with recent upgrades and equipment.
This 2003 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 has been owned and cared for over the past five years, with significant investment in maintenance and upgrades. She is in great condition, and was being prepared for an extended Southeast Asian cruising program before plans changed.
With 3 cabins, 2 heads and approximately 10T displacement, she offers a great combination of performance, comfort and practicality. The Yanmar 4JH3-TE has approximately 2,600 hours, with a recent service and only around 30 hours since.
Recent work and upgrades include:
New main and genoa fitted in 2023
Standing rigging approximately 4 years old
New tender and outboard
400Ah of new AGM house batteries plus new crank battery
New shaft seal
Several replaced skin fittings/thru-hulls
New gas lines and regulator
New anchor and chain
Recent engine service
Antifouled and polished in May
Five-sail inventory including main, genoa, hank-on staysail, gennaker and symmetrical spinnaker
She is also very well equipped for serious cruising, with davits, electric winches, watermaker, satellite internet, SSB, excellent ground tackle and a mast-mounted spinnaker pole that also works well for poling out the genoa.
There are a few cosmetic/updating items a new owner may choose to tackle, including the bimini and dodger canvas and attention to the eutectic fridge compressor, but these are reflected in the realistic approach to pricing.
A well-loved, well-equipped and extensively maintained bluewater-capable yacht with the major cruising investments already made. She is ready for her next owner and the next adventure.
