It is not common for the yacht builders to come out of their comfort zone and develop a completely new kind of charter. It happens rarely, and Sun Odyssey 440 is such a rare happening.

The Deck

At mild windy situation, like 4 to 12 knots of true wind, Sun Odyssey 440 can make respectably good progress. With the increase of the speed of wind, it becomes more involving on the helm. It is very responsive with the change of wind speed and that is a good thing. It makes cruising comfortable and safe for the travelers. Due to its little unconventional design, it could struggle a bit, when it comes to stormy situation. However, it is a holiday yacht and it is meant for vacation renting purposes. Thus, it does not have to deal with stormy situations. So, from that aspect, it is safe and comfortable to cruise on the Sun Odyssey.

Pointing ability of the boat is controlled by shoal draft keel (1.6 m). Presence of it makes the boat quite responsive against the changing velocity of the wind. In general conditions, having mildly strong wind, it can sail at 5.3 knots with 2000 rpm. It is equipped with three bladed propellers, which ensure excellent grip. At the time of maneuvering, the twin rudders have been found to have no thrust to deal with. The yacht is wholly reliant on the prop walk. From layman’s perspective, the yacht is highly suitable for the vacation purpose. It can ensure safe as well as comfortable cruising experience for the boarders.

The helm has been regarded as the most important part of a charter. In this case, Sun Odyssey 440 is poised with twin wheels, having diameter of 82 cm.

If you are seeking a holiday yacht, the sitting options of this yacht on the deck area will definitely make you feel tempted.

There is a walkway too, in order to ensure seamless passing of the crew and guests. The outboard has a plenty seating options. On a bright sunny and mild windy day, sitting on the outboard when cruising will definitely give pleasure to the guests. However, sitting at the outboard may make one feel a little exposed with nothing in front. So, some guests would love sitting here, and some would not. There is a little adventure feeling, when you opt for sitting on the outboard of Sun Odyssey 440. On a sunny and breezy day, it feels fantastic to sit here with a glass of exotic drink at hand.

The deck also has efficient mechanism of draining water. In case of strong windy scenario, water often falls on the deck of the yacht, especially when the boat makes a turn against the wave. The splashes of water that fall on the deck can easily be drained with excellent draining mechanism. The water draining channel is also connected with the cockpit so that no water logging issues can happen inside the cockpit.
