We have a Sun Odyssey 36.2 in Sydney Harbour built in 1999 and it is Hull Number 290 so I suspect there are a few thousand about the globe. Ours was built in August 99 and has a serious deck delamination issue that Jeanneau has refused to do anything about as yet. Trust your vessel is in good order. If the weather here wasn't so good we'd be really depressed about the current situation. If you interested I can give you the whole story and you'll know how lucky you are not to have the lemon from the batch.

Dear members,
I am an SO 37.2 owner since eight years, and in a position to purchase a new SO 49 i performance. I would like to hear anyone's opinion for this boat. And also any comments about maintenance of blue hull colour and teak deck would be appreciated. Thinking that, blue colour is very attractive, I wonder if this specification is a concerning factor in practice ( avoiding any scratch ) when mooring for example.
Regards
Cuneyd

GOOD Morning! We are considering a Jeanneau SO 35. I am concerned because we have had heavy displacement hulls in the past 30,000 lbs on a 36 feet wood boat. I am a little nervous about a boat that is so much lighter. She seemed so balanced when we boarded her dockside but I am nervous. We do want a more responsive boat and really like the 35.
Thanks Jan

Seamist,
Where are you sailing? protected? no protected? Trying to cross an ocean?

Hi all. I've recently joined the forum, although I really should have joined a long time ago. We currently have a Sun Odyssey 49 Performance, our 3rd Briand/Jeanneau boat, having previously owned the Sun Fizz 40 and Sun Kiss 45 from new. All have been fantastic, and the SO49P is living up to and exceeding expectations. It doesn't feel quite as astoundingly solid as the Sun Kiss in heavy seas (there's significantly more flex), but it does feel equally safe and capable. We attribute the slight increase in structural flex to the more modern engineering and construction - use of epoxy/kevlar instead of just GRP, and more sophisticated engineering and construction technology. If anything, the slight increase in flex probably helps dissipate the impact energy when the hull comes off a large wave. The other thing to bear in mind when I mention flex is that we were used to an exceptionally solid boat with a more traditional hull design (for GRP anyway) - the SO49 is very solid and certainly not at all under engineered. We've only put around 10,000 miles on the SO49P so far, compared to approx 100,000-150,000 with the Sun Kiss, but the confidence that she'll do anything and face anything (subject to not trying to carry truely excessive canvas) is there. Dear members, I am an SO 37.2 owner since eight years, and in a position to purchase a new SO 49 i performance. I would like to hear anyone's opinion for this boat. And also any comments about maintenance of blue hull colour and teak deck would be appreciated. Thinking that, blue colour is very attractive, I wonder if this specification is a concerning factor in practice ( avoiding any scratch ) when mooring for example. It's a fantastic boat - see above. We've got the teak cockpit, but no teak on the main decks and white hull. The cockpit teak is surviving very well with minimal maintenance - mostly just washing it down regularly. On the Sun Kiss, we only started replacing bits of the teak after around 10 years (I can't remember exactly, but I think we redid the side decks at 10 years and cockpit at 15, after a great deal of hard sailing). We didn't go for the blue hull mainly because we thought she looked beautiful in white, although we do also admire the blue. We also wanted to put the cost of the hull paint into more useful things such as the electronics and 8500W of factory fit cabin central heating (strongly recommended if you're in or visiting colder parts of the world, as we are at 56N).

Gerry, It always surprise's me, but MANY of the older models have OM's on the main jeanneau site, yes, the one that new boats are sold thru. Needless to say, there is an OM of your Voyage 12.50 on the site. I have a link to an english version at Jeanneau USA, jeanneau Spain may have a spanish version for your use too. Hope this helps. www.jeanneau.fr/doc/proprietaire/manuelproprietaire_2_20080305_Manuel_ang_voyage1250.pdfThis might tell you the lengths, but sizing these days, can depend upon the line you use, some high tech stuff you can get away with say 8mm in diam, where as a low tech you need 10 or 12mm to handle the loads from the sails. Good luck getting you boat back, and in operating condition. marty

Hello,
My wife and I recently purchased a new 36i here in Toronto. We love it!
We have already installed a microwave, inverter, 2nd coach roof winch and clutches, bbq, and TV antenna. All indispensable items in my opinion.
On order is an asym. spinnaker, vertically battened main, bowsprit and rodkicker.
On this wish list is a feathering prop.
Anyone else with a 36i done any "must have" additions?
Thanks.

Flipper, I added a stern rail seat behind the pedestal and an outboard engine hoist to our 36i Performance. Our boat came standard with a 3 blade Flex-o-fold prop. It was part of the Performance package. You can see pictures of the seat and the hoist in the "Hints & Tips" section on this website
Happy Sailing MKREMEDY

Hello Flipper,
Looks like that your are tuning your 36i for more performance. That is exactly what I have been doing. I can recommend the following: - Adjustable backstay - Adjustable (from the cockpit) genua track cars - German main sheet system - Indeed a feathering prop. I have the new Vari Profile 3 blade feathering prop. Great in sailing and manouvering. Extreme braking power! I have compared this to manouvering with a 3 blade flex o fold prop. I did not enjoy that. Too slow in reaction and the stopping power was not as impressive as a feathering prop. Prices are more or less the same. - Furthermore I have High Aspect foresail. This measures about 25m2 and is ideal for more heavy wind and upwind courses. The sail has 4 vertical battens. This means in practice that the genua is less frequently used.
Good luck en enjoy your 36i. Ewald

Thank you to everyone for the responses. Just received the vertical battened main from UK Halsey last night and the rodkicker.
This weekend should be a wonderful mainsail tuning weekend.
On the good suggestions, I can really see the value in the cockpit adjustable genoa car leads. It has to be one of the most used and practical sail adjustments, and yet I have to go forward on deck every time. This one should be standard from the factory.
An adjustable backstay would be nice too. Any idea what the easiest way to accomplish this on a standard 36i is?

Enjoy your UK Halsey sail! My High aspect sail is also made bu UK Halsey. They deliver great sails.
The adjustable backstay is quite easy to install, because it is standard on the performance version. I have asked the Jeanneau dealer to install it and it was quite cheap. They made it exactly as on the performance version and I can adjust the tension on both sides of the boat. This is great in case of heavy weather.
Furthermore the German mainsheet system is a must have. I can not understand why the main sail control is not near to the helmsman position. It is much safer to control both sails from behind the wheel beside the more obvious advantage of easier trimming. I have made pictures and will send them to Administrator for publishing in Hints and Tips section.

I have a SO40DS and want to remove and rebed the front and side windows which are leaking. The are the same design as for at least the SO43DS. Are there any hints / suggestions for removing the windows and the eyebrow cap? I have discussed with Jeannea America who thus far have not been able to explain specifically how todo it other than to "be careful." I also have a very experienced yard craftsman who has done this kind of work a lot , and he is puzzled. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello to all Jeanneau owners,
In October 2009 we bought our 2009 SO36i - secondhand! It was originally launched in May and put up for sale in August, having 10 hours on the engine counter. We feel that we are very lucky to be the new owners. As of April 2010 we have a berth in Pula, Croatia. Until then it is an exercise in patience.
To kill the time we have decided on the following go-faster modifications, thanks to the forum: - Adjustable backstay - Feathering 3-blade Kiwiprop - North Gennaker to be flown from the bowsprit
'Coralyn Ann' is the name of our yacht and we hope to hear from you.
All the best, Rene Berghuijs and Loretta Wilkening
