Designed by Lombard Yacht Design and Piaton Yacht Design, the Sun Odyssey 350 is a successor to 2013’s Sun Odyssey 349 and aims to bring the line’s notable performance elements to a more cruiser-friendly model. The redesigned hull features chines and an inverted bow for sporty sailing, while twin rudders offer stability to balance it out. Walkaround side decks make movement from the companionway to the transom and up to the bow all possible without a step up. The rig has a square-topped main and no backstay, which accommodates new seating options for the helmsperson at either of the twin helms. Depending on the kind of sailing owners are planning, the keel is deep, shoal, or swing-keel. There’s also an option for electric propulsion.
Belowdecks, layouts include three cabins, or two cabins and a workshop. Forward of the L-shaped galley is a dining area that takes up the salon, with the option to add a chart table to port or leave the settee full-sized and have the option to use it as a day bed. All told, it looks to be a successful reinvention of a proven popular model.
