DESCRIPTION
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42i is a highly regarded cruising yacht known for its balance of sailing performance, comfort, and practical design. Built by Jeanneau in France in 2008, Billmaira offers a spacious and capable platform for relaxed family cruising. With her generous beam and well-designed cockpit, she provides excellent space for socialising while under sail or at anchor.
Powered by a reliable Yanmar 54 HP diesel engine with sail drive, the yacht delivers comfortable cruising speeds around 7.5 knots while remaining easy to handle for short-handed sailing. The sail plan includes a mainsail and genoa both replaced in 2020, and all lines are led aft to the cockpit for straightforward sail handling.
Below deck the yacht features a practical three-cabin layout with three double berths, providing comfortable accommodation for family or guests. The bright saloon, well-equipped galley with oven, hob and refrigerator, and generous storage throughout make extended cruising easy and enjoyable.
The yacht has clearly benefited from regular care, being lifted ashore for approximately six months each year since new. Maintenance includes recent antifouling and anodes replaced in 2026, and the engine was serviced in January 2026.
