The Sun Odyssey 28.1 is a French sailboat that was designed by Tony Castro as a cruiser and first built in 1994.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design was originally sold as the Sun Way 29.[1][2]
Production[edit]
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1994, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]
Design[edit]
The Sun Odyssey 28.1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with steps, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional keel and centerboard. It displaces 5,732 lb (2,600 kg) and carries 1,764 lb (800 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard fin keel fitted.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 19 hp (14 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 26 U.S. gallons (98 L; 22 imp gal).[1][2][5]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four to six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located aft, opposite the galley, also on the starboard side.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.47 kn (11.98 km/h).[2]
Operational history[edit]
In a 1995 Cruising World review, Quentin Warren described the design as, "a high-volume mini-cruiser designed by Tony Castro ... and another in the French mega-builder's line of finely turned out family oriented sailing vessels."[8]
