History

We purchased a 2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i in September 2018. The boat was lightly used and very basically maintained for the previous 2 years but had been a Sunsail charter boat out of Greece for the first 5 years of its life. Knowing that the boat had been in charter service at a well known and tier one charter company we expected wear but good maintenance. The 36i has excellent reviews as a racer cruiser with exceptional performance as well as being spacious. Our personal survey revealed poor maintenance and some issues. This blog describes resolving issues and the additions we made.
