editThe design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 2003, but it is now out of production.[1][2][6][7][8]
Design
editThe Sun Odyssey 49 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a slightly raked stem, a reverse transom with steps and a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 27,778 lb (12,600 kg) and carries 8,025 lb (3,640 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 7.75 ft (2.36 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat was also built in a "performance" version for racing with a taller rig and modified keel.[9]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 68 hp (51 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 63 U.S. gallons (240 L; 52 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 185 U.S. gallons (700 L; 154 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six to eight people with three or four cabin layouts. In the three cabin layout there is a double berth in the bow cabin, whereas in the four cabin layout the bow holds two smaller cabins, each with a double berth. In either arrangement there are two aft cabins with double berths. The main salon has a U-shaped settee and a straight settee, around a rectangular table all on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The galley is straight in shape and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. There are two, three or four heads fitted, depending on configuration. A navigation station may be located aft on the starboard side unless replaced by a fourth head.[1][2][6]
The design has a hull speed of 8.72 kn (16.15 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 68 to 109 for the shoal draft keel model.[2][10]
