Sun Odyssey 35

The Sun Odyssey 35 is a French sailboat that was designed by Marc Lombard and Eric Levet as a cruiser and first built in 2003.

The design was developed into the Sun Fast 35 cruiser-racer in 2004.

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 2003, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Sun Odyssey 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a retractable lifting keel. The version for the European market has twin rudders. It displaces 11464 lb and carries 3285 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 7.15 ft with the keel extended and 2.95 ft with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo MD2030 diesel engine of 29 hp for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 35 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 81 u.s.gal.

The design has a hull speed of 7.57 kn and a PHRF handicap of 108 to 129 keel down and 123 to 132 keel up.

Operational history
A 2003 review in Sail magazine reported, "many boats with 'contemporary' styling, particularly those from Europe, tend to look amorphous, so it's refreshing to see a new design with truly clean and elegant lines. Jeanneau's latest addition to its long-lived Sun Odyssey line, drawn by Marc Lombard and Eric Levet, is just such a boat."
