Broker�s Comments
"Nepenthe" is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32. "Nepenthe" has a modern appearance and has many of the features that today�s buyers are looking for in this size range.
The famous yacht designer Philippe Briand lead the team who designed the Sun Odyssey 32. She has attractive looks and a roomy interior for her length and beam. Her PHRF handicap would be in the 150s, based on information on the US Sailing website. This means she should have a good turn of speed under sail for a cruising sailboat of this length. The lead fin keel with a tapered bulb and the spade rudder helps her performance.
The combination of a forward cabin with a double v-berth and an aft cabin with an athwartship double berth affords privacy for two couples or a couple with children. Both cabins have doors. Refrigeration, stove/oven, hot/cold pressure water, shower, fans, swim platform, and other features make this a desirable boat for coastal cruising or day sailing. Four adults could take multi-week trips on a Sun Odyssey 32. Moorings selected the Sun Odyssey 32 for their charter boat fleet.
Ease of handling is enhanced by having an in-mast furling mainsail as well as a furling Genoa. All lines lead to the cockpit. There are six rope clutches and three self-tailing winches. The cockpit has a pedestal with wheel steering and an instrument pod. Anchoring chores are eased with an electric windlass. She should be a relatively easy boat to sail short-handed or even single-handed.
The owner and his wife have upsized to a 45� sailboat and therefore have put "Nepenthe" up for sale. ("Nepenthe" has a perfect name. It is a drug described in Homer�s Odyssey that banishes grief or trouble from a person�s mind.)
