Chantiers Jeanneau, Les Herbiers, France. |
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 is a modern family cruising yacht with a good combination of sailing performance and comfortable accommodation. The example shown is a single aft cabin version, though many were also built with twin aft cabins. Apart from the two or three cabin options, there was a choice of deep or shallow bulbed fin keels. |

The Sun Odyssey 37 was designed for Jeanneau by Jacques Fauroux, and introduced in mid-1999 as a replacement for the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36.2. Production of the 37 continued until around 2005/6 when it was replaced with the Sun Odyssey 39i.
The hull is solid hand-laid GRP, with Kevlar for added strength in high-load areas. There are moulded-in longitudinal stringers and floor grids. Unlike Beneteaus of similar age, there is no single full-length inner moulding, though there is a large sub-moulding forming the GRP heads compartment base. The deck is balsa-cored, with a moulded inner lining.
The SO37 design was built with either one or
two aft cabins, and a choice of deep or shallow keels. The yacht illustrated has the 6' 4" deep keel and a single aft cabin. In this version the aft cabin has a very large double berth, that can be slept in either fore and aft or athwartships. The saloon is spacious, with a fixed forward-facing chart table, and the heads has a separate showering compartment. The twin aft cabin version sacrificed heads space to allow another door into the second aft cabin.
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 shares the same hull and interior as the "club racing version" the Sun Fast 37, which has a very slightly bigger rig and deeper keel, plus some minor changes to deck gear. |
