„Le Bec Fin“ is a wonderful example of the extremely popular Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS. Her unique design offers exceptional space and comfort. Part of the huge appeal for this model is the full width owners aft cabin with a king size berth, more comparable to a much larger yacht. She is also a fine sailing yacht, with a proven hull blending safety, comfort and perfomance.
Available for viewing by appointment in Swanwick Marina, ashore.
