    OUR STORY:
    John and Kristina purchased a 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey with just a few weeks sailing experience. They set sail from Melbourne and travelled up the East Coast of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef, and have since sailed in Greece, The Bahamas and now, the Western Med!

      Thanks SW!! So kind of you to say ☺️ she’s such a nice boat we really are enjoying sailing her. Price is just over $1M I believe but changes all the time depending on currency, location, options etc, supply issues and inflation have kept the prices heading up. This one has a lot of amazing gear on her!

    Another fantastic video. Boat looks amazing, 5 meter deck is near as wide as a cat (~7m). Would be great to see a video of the performance at all angles and all sail plans. And let's see how she handles beating up wind in 40 knots!
    Please be careful going up the mast! Best to use an extra safety line, wouldn't trust just one line, as you know stuff breaks all the time, even the new stuff breaks or is assembled wrong.

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! We have done quite a bit of sailing on her now, so have got a good feel for how she handles and will share it all in a boat tour soon! So far we’ve seen 9.5kts (towing the dinghy 😮‍💨) in about 20kts of breeze. She goes very well upwind too! We did have her in 40kts at one point, upwind, but we didn’t have much sail out at all by that point haha. Super comfy and dry under the hard top even in 40kts!

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Ohh and yes John mentioned this about the halyard, we were a bit naughty as we were in a rush to get going and only going a short way up the mast but in hindsight we should have had a safety line for sure 😉

    Hi Kristina,
    You're awesome at storytelling. Considering your occupation before you started sailing, it isn't surprising.
    Really good. Looking forward for more videos from the med.
    I would like to suggest you to sail in the European waterways.
    It could be French canals, European rivers, and in Holland: Utrechts, Ijsselmeer as well as the Wadden Sea (close to the shore of the North Sea of Holland, Germany and Denmark)

      Hi Bill! Thank you so much for watching us go through the motions of picking up the keys and making it through the storms! My gosh, that strike got close!!!! ⚡️ Mallorca is truely beautiful, Palma is my favourite city on the island I think.. but it’s also built up! So it depends if you like tranquility and small towns, or cute alleyways and restaurants with stunning architecture! I hope you’re feeling okay. Hang in there, we’re sending you healing and love! ❤️

      We’re finding the JY55 is a great compromise from the Cats we’ve sailed recently, we’ve really enjoyed the spacious deck area and the seperate living area, but she is also great fun to sail and goes very well upwind. I think we topped out at 9.5kts so far (towing the dinghy-whoops!)

    The 55 is on a short list for our next boat. Will be inspecting it at Annapolis in several weeks. Looking at the videos, I have been concerned that the aft cabins are tight with small heads. Can you comment on these?
    Also... do the cabins feel claustrophobic with gull wing hatches closed? How do open hatches affect cockpit flow?

      @KristinasTravels  8 месяцев назад

      Hello there! Wow, how exciting, boat shopping is so much fun, great to hear you are considering the 55!
      The rear cabins probably look smaller in our videos from the top of the companionway then what they actually are, they are actually fairly spacious, particularly the port cabin, which has its own seating/living space and bar fridge, we found the seperate living spaces were perfect for those times where everyone was wanting to relax and have alone time or get some work done at the end of the day. The heads were also decent in size, but not as big as the massive owners head of course which is next level! The space over the beds is a little lower then we had on our Jeanneau Sun odyssey 50DS (deck saloon) but the trade off is a massive walk around, single level deck which is a total game changer in our opinion and worth the trade off. You’ll see what I mean when you see it. As for airflow we found that in the rear cabins it was best to keep the door open to the head on anchor so you’d get extra airflow from that port light in the head, there is also rear and side hatches so airflow was ok if needed the gull wing doors could be opened, failing that there was always aircon haha. Airflow in the main cabin and saloon was exceptional.
      If you’re going to Annapolis, we can put you in touch with our friend who has spent 7 weeks with us living in that cabin and will be helping out on the jeanneau stand at Annapolis, maybe she can give you a tour and share her experiences if you would like? Drop us an email at hello@kristinastravels.com.au and we can put you in touch, happy to answer any other questions you have in the meantime.
      Wish we were coming to the show this year! It was so much fun last year, you’ll have a blast!
      Cheers - John

    Does it get hot behind the glass? In the spray hood you can open a window. But it looks like it cant be opened.

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Hey Rob! It’s got a big sliding window at the front of the canopy, which is great for airflow. The canvas cover also zips off at the front so you can have get protection overhead from sun but still have forward visibility while sailing or on anchor if you’d like airflow. We went to the Cannes boatshow a couple days ago and noticed the JY55 on display there had a regular canopy/Dodger, so that’s an option also over the hard top👌🏻

But I like it a lot, imagine as you arrive and the next day you use a brand new boat which directly came from the factory which has not been used, did you feel that? It's like you bought a brand new boat and use it for trial for the very first time, 😱 that's exciting because it's just like preparing for another adventure sail, sometimes I like preparations it felt like I was there❤😊

      Yes, easily, it has 4x electric (rewinding) winches that can be controlled from across the cockpit plus bow and stern thrusters, electric furler on the Genoa etc so probably easier to single hand then most boats even in the 30-40ft range I would say.
