The Sun Odyssey 37 was designd for Jeanneau by Jacques Faroux, and introduced in mid-1999 as a replacement for the Sun Odyssey 36.2. Production of the Sun Odyssey 37 continued until 2005/6 when it was replaced by the Sun Odyssey 39i model,.
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, and most newer Jeanneaus, 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. This yacht has the 4' 9" shallow keel and is the version with twin aft double cabins. The saloon is spacious, with a fixed forward-facing chart table.
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. |
