The Sun Odyssey 26 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand and the Jeanneau Design Office, as a blue water cruiser and first built in 2003.[1][2][3][4][5]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 2003, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]

Design

The Sun Odyssey 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a nearly plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional centerboard. It displaces 5,024 lb (2,279 kg).[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard fin keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of 19 hp (14 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 29 U.S. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth around a table in the bow and an aft cabin with a centered double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located opposite the galley, on the port side. Cabin headroom is 70 in (178 cm).[1][2][5]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker. The boat has a hull speed of 6.31 kn (11.69 km/h).[1][2]
