There is a point when a sailboat becomes more than a collection of systems and specifications. It becomes the place you go to slow down, spend time together, explore a new island or leave the dock with no particular destination in mind.
Pardon My French is the kind of boat built around that experience.
Designed by Philippe Briand and Jeanneau Design, the Sun Odyssey 45 brings together the sailing ability you want underway with the comfort and space that make time aboard enjoyable. Her generous 14'4" beam creates an exceptionally spacious interior, while her 5'5" shoal draft opens up many of the anchorages that make cruising the Pacific Northwest so rewarding. She has the sailing characteristics to make getting there part of the fun-and the space and systems to make staying there just as enjoyable.
Pardon My French has also been set up with the realities of cruising in mind. The flexible two-, three- or four-cabin layout adapts easily from comfortable cruising for a couple to family trips or weekends with friends. The huge aft berth, 119 gallons of fresh water, 101 gallons of diesel, a Northern Lights 6 kW generator, and Stainless Dinghy davits give you the freedom to stay aboard longer and travel farther. Three-zone Webasto hydronic heat and reverse-cycle air conditioning make the boat comfortable well beyond the typical summer cruising season.
She is particularly well suited to short-handed sailing. Major sail controls are led aft, the mainsail is in-mast furling, and both helm stations have engine shift/throttle and bow-thruster controls-a dream feature for tight quarters maneuvering.
Perhaps most importantly, Pardon My French reflects the care of owners who have continued to invest in the boat. Standing rigging was replaced and upgraded in 2021, along with the addition of Raymarine Axiom electronics. The steering wheels were upgraded in 2022, and the house battery bank, shaft seal, and teak sole were renewed in 2024. A new Dometic electric head was installed in 2025. Professional mechanical service, hull cleaning, anode replacement, and Max Prop service have been maintained annually. The result is a Sun Odyssey 45 that is ready for the next chapter: weekends around Puget Sound, summers in the San Juans, Gulf Islands, or longer adventures when the opportunity comes to go farther.
Pardon My French is at our Lake Union docks. Come aboard, walk through her, and take a look for yourself.
She may be exactly the kind of cruising boat you've been waiting for.

Accommodations & Interior
The appeal of a cruising boat is measured in hours, not square feet. This is where you spend mornings over coffee, wait out a rainy afternoon and gather with friends after a day on the water.
