2020 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490

Horizon Yacht Sales is pleased to present you this 2020 Jeanneau 490 ‘Cosette II’.The Jeanneau 490 ‘Cosette II’ Features:The Jeanneau 490 has introduced a truly innovative deck layout that is completely original. The new “walk-around” side deck slopes gently down towards the helm station on each side so that there is no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get from cockpit to side deck – you simply walk around the helm. And the helm itself has forward-facing seats so you can helm without having to twist your body and crane your neck.Furthermore, the coamings are now hinged, allowing you to fold them out to make daybeds on either side. The starboard pad can extend all the way to the cockpit table (with a filler cushion). The cockpit table is also offset slightly allowing a walkthrough passage even when one table leaf is open.The twin wheels, wide split backstay and extra-large electronic swim platform offer easy boarding and clear access through to the companionway. The engine start panel is incorporated into the central cockpit mould together with autopilot, steering compass and table/transom and light controls. Centralised Electric Harken winches operated directly from the cockpit make short-handed sailing easy, safe and stress-free. Under power and sailThe standard engine is the Yanmar 57HP with sail-drive, but Cosette II has the upgraded 80HP. The upgraded 80HP will deliver over 9 knots at full throttle in smooth water. She generally handles well, but adding an optional bow thruster will make close-quarters manoeuvring and docking even easier. One great feature of the Jeanneau 490 is that the Harken primary winches are set on pedestals inboard which means the crew can now face forward while grinding in genoa sheets. Below deck flexibility and styleDesigned by Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet the interior offers multiple configurations.Cosette can be configured into In to a 4 cabin or 3 cabin layout. There are two double berths forward separated by a removable bulkhead, and two doubles aft, each with its own head/shower. There is no compromise in space here as the hard chine hull flares out above the waterline ensuring maximum volume inside. There is also a small “skipper berth” in the bow.There is space and functionality aplenty: A forward-facing chart table/Nav station that also forms part of a dinette area with a bench seat (with storage underneath) between the desk and the galley. The galley itself has a nice island with storage and also works as something to brace against underway. There is a three-burner stove and oven, double sinks, freezer and refrigerator. There is additional wine bottle storage under the flooring.To the starboard, there is a generous folding dining table with a central bench seat and there is plentiful storage under the seats. The table can also be lowered to form an extra double berth and the light below is exceptional, with hull and deck portlights supplemented by multiple hatches.
