There are two stand-out features in the Sun Odyssey 410 that secured the accolade of best midsize Cruiser 2019, in Cruising World Magazine and make the latest Jeanneaus one of the most attractive monohulls to charter. The brilliant innovation of a walk around side-deck is so simple but so logical, it is a wonder it has never been done before. The side deck slopes down towards the helm station each side so that there is no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get to the side deck – you simply walk around the helm. The aft cabins are not compromised, as the 410 carries her beam well aft. The other evolutionary design is that the cockpit coamings are hinged, and fold down to make flat lounging day beds whenever you want. The design excels below decks as well. Instead of a V berth double forward, the double is offset, to give a Queen size double to starboard, with an en-suite head and shower on the port side. The two doubles aft, share a head and shower which is on the starboard side of the saloon. Another stroke of brilliance is that all drawers and cabinets open parallel to the centreline, so nothing flies out when opened underway. With a truly inviting deck plan, sailing has never been so enjoyable aboard a 41-footer. With her powerful hull, twin helms and rudders, the 410 perfects the art of sailing and comfort on board. Centralized winches, which can be controlled directly from the cockpit, make sailing short-handed simple and stress-free.
