ABOUT YACHT

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410 is well-mannered, quick and fun to sail. That a boat with this much volume can sail this well is testament to the full-length hull chine concept. For a coastal cruiser with occasional offshore tendencies, the deck layout, galley, and stowage down below are all very good.

For a couple with a family, or friends, she offers a large, sociable cockpit with the main controls at the helm so the boat can be sailed shorthanded. Behind the wheels is a fold-down transom to facilitate access to the water. Between them is a fixed cockpit table with fold-down leaves, the body of which contains a handy insulated cold-storage bin. This table body is also slightly offset to starboard to allow easier access to the transom.

Layout includes 3 guest cabins and 2 heads.
