What Makes the 8th Generation Sun Odyssey Range So Popular 

It's personal taste for sure but there's no doubt that the interiors we're using today are very different from the ones we used 20 years ago. Back in the day, we used real teak but good quality teak was getting harder and harder to find and of course more expensive so we made the switch to a wood that was more renewable and that we had greater control over. The interiors of today are less traditional but offer a lot of comfort and great ergonomics. Hope you will come to the Annapolis show this year where we will be introducing the new Sun Odyssey 350. Thanks for your comment!

@@JeanneauAmerica ok thank 4 explaining now i know that was the general complain

Thanks for your comment. To be quick, all the boats we build today, with the exception of the Jeanneau Yachts 65, come with twin rudders. Our boats today, carry much more beam aft than boats of 15-20 years ago and the twin rudders really add to the overall performance of the boat, especially upwind in a breeze. Best of luck in your search for the right boat for you. And again, thanks for watching the video and your comment.

@@JeanneauAmerica Sorry, but that is a really Dumb Excuse for making the horrific mistake of shoving a Second Rudder on a wide Beamed Cruising boat, as generally with hard Chines and good below the waterline form, the Sailboats are generally sailing with a maximum Heeling Angle of 18 degrees in all Sailing conditions, and it is the narrow beamed Racing Sailboats with extreme heeling angles that can benefit from Twin Rudders due to the increase in Waterline length which increases the Hull speed. Slapping TWO highly exposed and unprotected Rudders on a Cruising Sailboat is only going to increase the likelihood of Jeanneau being on the Receiving end of a Class Action from people who have had both Rudders Ripped Off, possibly lost their Boats as a Result and needing for Jeanneau having to do some extremely Difficult Explaining to do in Court. Consider Your Company Duly Warned. Frankly, you had better come up with a Single Rudder Upgrade Kit VERY FAST. 😡

PS. if you hold a piece of lightweight rigid tubing of a length that matches the Draft of a boat at 18 degrees from upright, you will see that a si gle Rudder Will Never lose its hydrodynamic connection with the water, and further you ne er lose the early warning to depower the Sails that is provided by Weather Helm Feedback. That the Commercial Environment is Such that Boating Journalists Dare not State the obvious, for Risk of them and their Magazines being Blackballed and losing Advertising Revenue, with the Best Criticism the likes of Toby Hodges able to make is by saying things like - how nice it is to be able to Sail a Single Rudder Sailboat once again - is really Damning about the present state of what is ending up being fitted on Sailboats isn't it ? Luckily, I am not a Journalist, and I don't work for a Magazine, I am just a Sailboat Sailor who has been Sailing for 60 years this year, and I know Stupid When I See it, and as a Customer I cannot be Blackmailed, My problem is Boatbuilders doing Stupid things to their Boats which is having an unpleasant effect on the Range of Sailboats Selection that I am able to buy, and the same can be Said of the Stupidity of Deep Sradts and the Failure to embrace Wing Keels to dramatically improve the availability of Suitably Shallow Draft Sailboats. I am actually having no option but to consider purchasing a Custom Designed, built, delivered and fitted Custom Lead Wing Keel so my Next Sailboat can have the access needed to enter and live a wide selection of Destinations, still, at least ordering a Custom Mast with an Air Draft of 40 feet is one of the few items to replace, which isn't proving to be an insurmountable or horrifically Expensive Problem to Solve. Very poor interior design below deck is much easier to sort out as well with Jeanneau actually being one of the better interior designers 👍 as others really need a pretty rapid Redesign and rebuild by the likes of SETAG Yachts to turn Boats into Good Cruising Sailboats. Look at the Abomination Retard Designers have inflicted on the Wonderful Umberto Felci designed Hull of the Dufour 44 for example, and all because they wanted to fit a Ridiculous Hexaganol Table in the Saloon, which totally wrecked its potential as a very impressive Cruising Sailboat. Anyway, enough of expressing my annoyance as Constructively as I can, and hoping that Much Related to Cruising Sailboats improves soon. All the Best. 🤔 Bob.
