Commissioned by her new owner and built to his specification, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS Performance BLUE DAMSEL was a ‘fully loaded’ example, featuring a substantial selection of the available factory-fitted optional extras, including the optional deeper keel and the Premier and Preference trim packs. She was displayed on the Jeanneau stand at the September 2010 Southampton Boat Show and was commissioned for the 2011 season. Below decks, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 BLUE DAMSEL offers a spacious three-cabin layout with an owner's cabin forward, along with her large, bright, open-plan saloon and galley. The boat has benefited from continual professional maintenance and upgrades since new, wintering ashore.
