Description
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 is a well-regarded cruising sailboat that combines performance, comfort, and seaworthiness. Designed by renowned naval architect Philippe Briand, the Sun Odyssey 45 is part of the Sun Odyssey line, which is known for its strong build quality and attention to detail. Below are some detailed aspects that contribute to the seaworthiness of these fine vessels .
“Janey” features a modern elongated hull shape with a fine entry and a broad beam. This design reduces drag and allows the boat to slice through waves efficiently, contributing to its overall speed and stability. The wide beam also provides ample interior space and stability at anchor.
The hull is constructed using a solid fiberglass laminate with a balsa core that provides strength while keeping the weight down. Jeanneau employs a rigorous quality control process to ensure that each boat is built to withstand the rigors of offshore
She is equipped with a deep fin keel and a balanced rudder. The deep keel lowers the center of gravity, enhancing stability and performance while also allowing for better upwind sailing. The rudder is designed for quick response and control, which is vital in challenging conditions.
Featuring a fractional sloop rig with a high-aspect ratio mainsail and a self-tacking jib option. This rigging arrangement allows for efficient sail handling, particularly when short-handed. The sail plan is designed to optimize performance in a variety of wind conditions, making the boat versatile for different sailing environments.
The design incorporates safety features such as robust handrails, high freeboard, and strategically placed winches that facilitate safe movement on deck. The cockpit is designed to provide protection for the crew, allowing for safe operation even in inclement weather. Resting on a Mooring in the US Virgin Islands she awaits a offer.

Ocean Petersen was born on the classic wooden yacht Catania, on the island of Tahiti in the South Pacific. The Petersen family was in the process of circumnavigating the globe. They continued their exploration of the South and North Pacific, until they settled for eight years on a deserted atoll in the Marshall Islands. While there, his parent’s interest in marine biology led them to develop an aquaculture farm cultivating giant clams. During Ocean’s years on the clam farm, he occupied his time by mastering all the water sports available to him.When he was eight, Ocean and his parents continued sailing through Micronesia, the Philippines, Borneo, Malaysia and eventually Thailand. After crossing the Indian ocean to Africa, via the Maldives and the Seychelles islands . When Catania arrived in the Caribbean after crossing the Atlantic Ocean left his home of 18 years to pursue his own life and career as a captain. At 17 he qualified for his 100 Ton US Coast Guard Captain’s License. Now Ocean captains charter yachts around the US and British Virgin Islands. After working closely with surveyors, and having a passion for yachting, he loves finding his clients the perfect boat so they can live their dreams as well.
