Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.1 Sailboats for Sale

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.1, introduced in the mid1990s, represents a pivotal era in the French builder's history where the focus shifted toward maximizing volume and utility in "pocket cruisers." Designed by the prolific Jacques Fauroux, this model was intended to bridge the gap between a trailerable day sailer and a genuine coastal cruiser. It arrived as a replacement or evolution of the original Sun Odyssey 24, incorporating a more modern deck molding and a refined interior layout that prioritized family overnighting. Its production run was relatively short, primarily spanning from 1994 to 1996, but it left a lasting impression as a versatile platform that could be easily managed by a couple or a small family. Detailed historical specifications and technical drawings are maintained within the Jeanneau Previous Models Archive, which highlights its position as a highvolume alternative to its sportier sibling, the Sun Fast 24.
