Sun Odyssey 47
sailboat class
The Sun Odyssey 47 is a series of French sailboats that was designed by Philippe Briand as a cruiser and first built in 1991. It was produced as the aft cockpit Sun Odyssey 47 and the center cockpit Sun Odyssey 47 CC.
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1991, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Sun Odyssey 47 series are recreational keelboats, built predominantly of Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass, with wood trim. They have masthead sloop rigs, raked stems, reverse transoms with steps and a swimming platform, internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keels with weighted bulbs.
The CC model was built in both two and three cabin interior arrangements. The two cabin version has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and additional seating in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a central double berth. The three cabin model adds a single berth in a small cabin on the starboard side of the bow. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the companionway ladder. The galley is straight in configuration and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side.
