Jeanneau Sun Odyssey45.2

Preliminary specification Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2 for sale – four cabins, one owner – Lying afloat in Swanwick Marina, near Southampton. This is the rare four-cabin version of the stunning Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2. Bought new by her current owner to accommodate his four children, thoughtful upgrades and optional extras were added meaning ‘Grumpy Bear’ is a well-equipped and comfortable cruising yacht.

Highlights of the inventory include bow thruster, radar, heating and full-battened mainsail. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2 was born from the respected drawing board of Philippe Briand, a designer renowned for blending racing pedigree with cruising comfort.

Produced by Jeanneau in France between 1997 and 2003, the hull is constructed from solid hand-laid fibreglass (GRP) below the waterline, while the deck utilizes a balsa core for stiffness and weight reduction. A notable structural detail is the inclusion of Kevlar in the bow sections, providing additional impact resistance for offshore encounters. A defining feature of this model is the implementation of twin steering wheels.

While common today, this was a forward-thinking move in the late nineties for a boat of this size. Practically, this design opens a clear central walkway from the companionway to the reverse transom, facilitating easy access to the water or a dinghy.

This configuration also allows the helmsman to sit well out on the side deck for a better view of the tell-tales and oncoming waves, without the need for a single, oversized wheel that would obstruct the cockpit. Sea Ventures are delighted to offer 'Grumpy Bear' which represents a fantastic opportunity for the aspiring blue water cruising sailor on a budget.

She is exclusively for sale through Sea Ventures and available to view at short notice at our Swanwick Marina office near Southampton. We are open 9 - 5pm Monday - Friday and 10-4pm on Saturdays. Please call 01489 565444 or email sales@seaventures.co.uk for an appointment.
