The Sun Odyssey 24.2 is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques Fauroux as a cruiser and first built in 1998. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [6] [7]
The Sun Odyssey 24.2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional stub keel and centerboard. It displaces 4,200 lb (1,905 kg). [1] [2]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 3.61 ft (1.10 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.59 ft (1.40 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.13 ft (0.65 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, but an inboard engine was a factory option. [1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of companionway on the starboard side. [1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.24 kn (11.56 km/h). [2]
