Used Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 CC Sailboats for Sale

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 CC (Center Cockpit) represents a strategic pivot in the late 1990s by the French shipyard to capture the blue-water cruising market, traditionally dominated by more expensive Scandinavian builders. Launched in 1996 and designed by Guy Ribadeau Dumas, the 42 CC was built on the same robust, high-volume hull as its aft-cockpit sibling, the Sun Odyssey 42.2. While the 42.2 was geared toward the Mediterranean charter trade with multi-cabin configurations, the 42 CC was purpose-built for the private owner seeking long-distance comfort, safety, and an expansive master suite. It remains a notable example of Jeanneau’s "Golden Era" of construction, blending traditional hand-laid fiberglass techniques with modern interior volume.
