1999 Jeanneau 34.2

Design and Build
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 is a well-presented two-cabin cruising yacht designed by Jacques Fauroux. Known for her balanced sailing characteristics, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 offers a practical layout and a reassuring feel under sail. As a result, she remains a popular choice for comfortable family cruising and coastal sailing.
Engine and Mechanical
Powered by the desirable Yanmar 3GM30 27hp inboard diesel, this Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 benefits from a proven and economical engine installation. Importantly, the yacht has recently been ashore, where she was antifouled and had her topsides polished. Consequently, she is presented ready for the 2025 season.
Sails and Deck Gear
The conventional sail plan includes a fully battened mainsail and a good-quality headsail. In addition, a cruising chute is included, providing flexibility for light-wind sailing. This setup makes the yacht easy to handle while still offering rewarding performance.
Navigation and Equipment
Navigation equipment is comprehensive and well suited to coastal cruising. Systems include speed and depth instrumentation, wind instruments, an autopilot, Lowrance colour chartplotter, and Icom DSC VHF. As a result, the helm position is both practical and well equipped.
Cockpit and Handling
This Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 features wheel steering and a spacious cockpit, creating a comfortable and sociable sailing environment. Handling is predictable and forgiving, which makes her ideal for family sailing and extended coastal cruising.
Condition and Viewing
Overall, this is a well-maintained and sensibly equipped example of a proven cruising design. The yacht is available for inspection by appointment.
