The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439, designed by Philippe Briand, is celebrated as a modern performance cruiser that blends speed, balance, and comfort.

Her hard chine hull and fine entry deliver both interior volume and responsive sailing performance. The wide cockpit with twin wheels and fold-down swim platform makes sailing and entertaining effortless, while the three-cabin and two-head layout below offers light, space, and comfort for extended cruising.

Performance metrics that define the 439’s character:

• SA to Displacement Ratio: ~18.9 → Solid sail power, lively and responsive under sail
• Displacement to Length Ratio: ~159 → Light enough to accelerate easily, yet stable in a sea state
• Ballast to Displacement Ratio: ~29% → Provides the right balance of stiffness and comfort. The boat resists excessive heel yet feels lively and fun to sail
• Comfort Ratio: ~24.6 → Comfortable motion, ideal for coastal and offshore passages
• Capsize Screening: ~2.0 → Safe and secure for offshore conditions

The owner describes Balandra as being steady, nimble, and confidence inspiring. It is equally suited for Chesapeake Bay weekends, East Coast passages, or island cruising.
