Sun Odyssey 410

Jeanneau · Marc Lombard · 2019

Updated

The Sun Odyssey 410 is a 11.98 m displacement racing yacht designed by Marc Lombard and built by Jeanneau, first launched in 2019. It races in Class C. Across the measured fleet it goes better than its own numbers promise, ahead of 96% of the designs it races against. It comes alive as the breeze builds, and gives time away in the light.

Round the buoys, or offshore

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Level across both. Plenty of designs fall away once the course gets long — a light hull that thrives round the cans can struggle through a night at sea. This one does not.

Where it wins and where it pays

Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.

This is a boat that wants breeze. Give it a fresh day and long legs and it delivers more than it promised; in a drifter it is working uphill.

Where it gains

Its best ground is on a reach when it blows, where it outruns what it looks like on paper, and by a margin worth having.

Where it pays

It falls short on the beat in light air, giving away time it never gets back.

Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

Rigging

Sun Odyssey 410 rig and sail dimensions

A Sun Odyssey 410 carries 14.77 m of mainsail hoist on a 5.00 m boom, a forestay 14.99 m above the deck and a 5.62 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 12 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
