"Polaris"
2015 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379
Specifications
Description
Polaris shows 156 hours on the Yanmar. That is a decade of Chesapeake weekends on a boat that gets sailed rather than motored. Four feet eleven inches of draft opens up the creeks and the thin water that keeps deeper boats out on the main stem, and 16,000 BTU of reverse cycle heat and air conditioning stretches the season at both ends.
The two cabin, one head layout gives a couple a private forward cabin and guests a real aft double, with a separate shower compartment rather than a wet head. The classic mainsail sets better and sails faster than the in mast furling rigs on most competing boats, and the tunnel bow thruster and twin wheels make a tight slip on a windy afternoon a non event.

Construction
Jeanneau builds the 379 with a solid laminate hull and a structural grid that carries keel and rig loads into the lower hull, so the boat stays stiff and quiet when the breeze fills in.

Hull solid, hand laid fiberglass, ISO gelcoat surface, protective barrier coat
Structure inner fiberglass grid, high load zones cut out, drainage system through structure
Mast, Rigging, Sails, and Sail Handling
Control lines lead aft to the cockpit, and the classic mainsail and 132 percent headsail give this vessel real power in the light air the bay serves up most of the summer. One person can easily sail Polaris.

Cockpit
The cockpit of Polaris is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring wood inlay on the bench seating and a teak cockpit floor. There are plenty of storage options, including a locker under the bench seat, a large lazarette under the port helm, and a dedicated compartment for the liferaft between the helm seats.
A fold down swim platform with a telescopic swim ladder provides easy water access, and the cockpit table adds to the usability. The helm station is well appointed with two leather covered steering wheels, compasses, stainless steel grab rails, and engine controls at the starboard helm. The custom dodger, bimini and connector cover the whole station, and the bimini was cleaned and repaired this season with the isinglass replaced.

Interior
Polaris offers a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, perfect for cruising or weekend getaways. The "Teak" laminated panels, solid wood trim, and light oak laminate floorboards create a warm and inviting space that shows its age well.
The forward owner’s cabin features a central double berth with a high density foam mattress and ample storage, while the aft cabin provides a large double berth and easy access to a well equipped head with a separate shower. The saloon is bright and spacious, with U shaped seating, a luxury folding table, and additional berth options.
