The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349
Jeanneau wants to defy the competition in the compact class with an exciting ship concept. Exclusive test of the Sun Odyssey 349

Easy handling on deck combined with good sailing characteristics and a high degree of customisation options - the new Sun Odyssey 349 from Jeanneau is different from the competition in many respects, from its appearance to the many innovative details on and below deck to the unusual pricing with modular equipment packages.

Jeanneau provided two versions of the new boat for the exclusive YACHT test: the standard boat with a fixed keel and the optional version with a hydraulic swivelling keel. You can now read the results of the comparison, the market classification and the detailed concept comparison in the newYACHT, issue no. 6/2014, available now at newsagents.
