Sun Odyssey 24.2

The Sun Odyssey 24.2 is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jacques Fauroux as a cruiser and first built in 1998.

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production.

Design
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 4200 lb.

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 3.61 ft, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.59 ft with the centerboard extended and 2.13 ft with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, but an inboard engine was a factory option.

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.

The design has a hull speed of 6.24 kn.
