The Sun Odyssey 32.1 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a cruiser and first built in 1994. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

The design is sometimes confused withe the later 2004 Sun Odyssey 32. ^{[1] [2] [6] [7]}

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1994 to 1998, with 60 boats completed, but it is now out of production. ^{[1] [2] [5] [8] [9]}

Design

The Sun Odyssey 32.1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and with wooden trim. The boat interior has varnished teak decor with a teak and holly cabin sole. ^{[1] [2] [5]}

It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 7,936 lb (3,600 kg) and carries 2,381 lb (1,080 kg) of iron ballast. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat has a draft of 6.40 ft (1.95 m) with the standard keel and 4.75 ft (1.45 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo MD2020 diesel engine of 20 hp (15 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 42 U.S. gallons (160 L; 35 imp gal). ^{[1] [2]}

The design has a hull speed of 6.89 kn (12.76 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 136. ^{[2] [10]}
