Design
The Sun Odyssey 519 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom with a drop-down tailgate swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed L-shaped fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional shoal-draft keel. The fin keel model displaces 30644 lb empty and carries 9480 lb of cast iron ballast, while the shoal draft version displaces 31636 lb empty and carries 10472 lb of cast iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 7.42 ft with the standard keel and 5.67 ft with the optional shoal draft keel.
