Hi djom, Welcome to the forum. You will find many like minded sailors here, it is a friendly place to hang out and share your experiences with your sailing. Congratulations on your new purchase. Quebec City is a lovely place to be based, and I am envious of that St Lawrence Seaway. I have driven along parts of it on the way from Ontario, through Quebec and on to the Maritime provinces. Wished I had a boat there. How far can you go upstream? You will find lots of interesting and informative information on the various boards here. Most are timeless, and many apply to many different models where the same systems are used, so spend a few quality evening hours, reading on all the topics which interest you. We all look forward to hearing about your experiences. Rene460 Thanks a lot for the welcome, rene460 ! 1st year we will go to Saguenay River (fjord), then we intend to go down to Anticosti island, Gaspesie and Iles de la Madeleine. Later we would go North to "basse côte-Nord" (will need to tarnslate this). And even later to New-Foundland West (strait of Belle-Isle). I already found this forum useful, as it directed me to Rig-Rite to replaced a missing water deack fill cap!

Hi djom,
It sounds like you have many wonderful adventures ahead of you. We drove as far as PEI, but did not make it to New Foundland. Obviously a summer trip.
I am sure you will find many more useful posts on the forum to enrich your sailing.

Thanks for the welcome. I am hoping to get my new 795 model 2020 delivered in the coming weeks in Istanbul. Your shared photos and information exchanges have been quite useful to me to develop ideas for possible additions. After tests the boat shall be based in the south in Marmaris. I am going to try to install a kicker engine and solar power. The engine is Evinrude 200 hp. This is mainly because the distributer here is also the Evinrude distributer in Turkey. There is no change in the model itself. There is also optional roof rack available. Wish they think about doing something about installing a kicker engine, by making changes in the swim platform on the port side. This may be possible if you make the swimming platform smaller, as was in the older models. With my best regards to all forum members.

Hello to all. I'm from Perth Western Australia. Bought a 2005 Sun Odyssey 37 in September last year and have been enjoying a great summer of sailing. We have consistent afternoon sea breezes that are usually around the 18 - 22 knot mark. Found this site after a bit of Googling in relation to a suspected leaking rudder seal (I suspect I have one as I'm getting a little bit of water in the central cavity after use and I've traced the water flow to somewhere in the rear). Regards, Tony Welcome Tony Guess that is the famous Fremantle doctor breeze! Hope you get your rudder issue fixed, although frustrating not a complex job, but do ask for advice here and share your experiences when sorted. The SO37 is a great boat Malcolm

Everyone with an interest in Jeanneau boats, power or sail are most welcome to this forum. This is a not for profit and independent forum that welcomes respectful posts on all aspects of Jeanneau boats and ownership. Please refer to the conditions before posting Also please look at the guidance on how to make your first post, upload photos, or update your profile
If you have not already participated, please reply here to briefly introduce yourself and why you are interested in Jeanneau Yachts, Boats and Sailboats. Hi All, Thank you for this Jeanneau Forum ..... I hope someone can offer some advise re a leaking water tank. My boat is a Sun Odyssey 36.2, built in 1998. The forward water tank which is plastic, has a small split in the bottom and despite an attempted “filling” repair the tank still leaks. Due to its size it is impossible to remove the tank from the cabin to carry out repairs. The tank can, however, be removed from its location below the double berth and turned upside-down to work on the split. Any help/advice will be gratefully accepted! Many thanks. David

You are most welcome, there are a lot of knowledgeable owners here.

Couple of questions.
1. I’ve noticed the after dec underneath is painted wood. Will this hold up? 2. Best horn and mounting location?

Hi everybody, thank you for allowing me on board. I am the proud owner of a Jeanneau Sunlight 31 based on the West coast of Scotland. I've owned the boat for just over a year and am now looking to start my own maintenance and improvements. This seems like a great place to tap into your expertise and share your experiences.

You must do a lot of miles if you regularly sail from Barcelona to the Adriatic? We are currently berthed in Sant Carles Rapita but heading to Sicily later this year. Suggest you make a separate post in regard dimensions for a replacement Code 0 as it maybe overlooked here. Hope you find our forum useful.

Hi Ventotene,
Welcome to the forum, I am glad that you have found us at last. You will find many like minded people here and a wealth of valuable information in the archives. We will all look forward to hearing about your adventures.
I am envious of your having a code 0, we often sail in very light winds and could do with some extra area. Yours must get a lot of use if you have worn it out already.
I expect someone will be able to provide an area specification, especially if you start a separate thread on the topic as Malcolm suggests, as it will soon get lost here.
The other approach is to talk to a sail maker. Preferably a local one as he will likely measure your boat himself. He mainly needs the luff measurement and the range of sheeting positions relative to the tack and head. I am sure a good sail maker will have no issues with talking to you about a suitable area.

My wife and I are new owners of a slightly used 2016 855. We are up in the PNW and I'm excited to introduce her to cruising the San Juans (and reintroduce myself since it's been some nearly 3 decades since I've cruised up there on anything shorter than a ferry). Currently have the boat at Dagmar's but will likely move it up to Anacortes after we get it all setup and I figure out the electrical. I'm guessing this boat came to the US from Poland because it has 3 shore power connections and 2 of them are 32amp plugs. Anyway, my electrical issues are a topic for another forum. This forum has already helped me out several times with great ideas on how to further enrich West Marine ownership and Jeff Bezos.

Very pleased to join this group. We sold a 1983 Catalina 36’ and purchased a 2006 Jeanneau Sun Osyssey 42DS, Sanctuaire, in July 2019 in San Diego, CA. What a game changer! We moved her home to Santa Cruz Harbor. 12 hours to Newport Beach where we spent a couple of days and took an Uber to Disneyland to see the Star Wars attractions. Then 12 hours to Ventura Harbor for 4th of July. Then 3 hours to Santa Barbara Harbor. Easy to double-hand and fell madly in love with the new boat. Another 36 hours for the trip from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz. Now, since our house was torn up for remodeling, we’ve been sheltering in place during the Covid-19 pandemic on the boat. We’re so grateful to have her and to have found this Forum where we are learning so much!
