The Sun Odyssey 30 was introduced in 1993
as a replacement for the 1990-93 Sun Odyssey 31 model. Unusually,
instead of using a French designer, the Sun Odyssey 30 was
designed for Jeanneau by Tony Castro. The design was built
to fill a gap in the size ranges Jeanneau were offering between
28 and 32-footers, and was intended as being a slightly higher
performance yacht than previous Sun Odyssey models.
Several keel options were built, deep fin, shallow winged
fin, or lifting keel, this yacht having the shallow winged
fin keel. More of these were sold in France than in the UK,
the design continuing in production until being superceded
by the Sun Odyssey 29.2/32.2 series boats in around 1997.
These earlier 1990s era Jeanneaus have more solid wood in
the interiors than the newer designs, making for a rather
nice saloon. The saloon is particularly well ventilated with
two opening ports forward.
