Introduction
The Jeanneau 43 Deck Saloon design is a wonderfully designed and built offshore capable sailboat. It was designed by Daniel Andrieu to be one of several Sun Odyssey offshore sailboats built by the Jeanneau Shipyard in Cholet in western France. The Jeanneau 43 Deck Saloons were built from 1999 thru 2006. The design and build quality was conceived to create a strong, fast, raised saloon yacht with a low profile classic look. The hull construction is solid hand laid fiberglass with laminated wood longitudinal stringers and frames (not interior hull liners characteristic of Beneteau boats. The result is a heavier, stronger, quieter hull especially suited to offshore sailing and big winds and seas. The raised or deck saloon design allows full size windows to be incorporated into the saloon and the floors to be raised to facilitate an average height person being able to stand in the main saloon and be able to see out the seven large windows, to allow light to flood the interior and to add additional storage bins under the cabin sole. The deck saloon design innovation was a significant step in the direction of better all-around visibility, better interior lighting and added storage for long offshore voyages.
Other practical design innovations incorporated into the Jeanneau 43 Deck Saloon design are a strong, oversize and reliable Yanmar 75 HP turbo-charged diesel, dual anchor rollers, a split anchor well, deck construction enabling for an inner forestay, in-mast roller furling, a deep bulb keel drawing 5.5 fy to 6 ft 0, an ICW friendly mast height of 62 feet, plenty of sail area, (full main 380 sq ft, full jib 390 sq ft, (560 sq ft with a 145% genoa), dual spinnaker halyards, all sail control lines led to the cockpit, a roomy cockpit with a walk around helm and a step-through transom, and a welcome wide stern swim platform.
Interior innovations include the design enabling a two or three cabin arrangement, with a large aft berth convertible from a large single berth into two separate smaller berths with a removable partition, two heads with showers, the main head having a separate shower stall, a spacious L shaped galley, a large U shaped dinette/settee to starboard that can easily seat six and a full navigation console to port,
