The smallest boat in this big-selling Jeanneau range has twin rudders and a chined hull with a broad transom. The good size cockpit has a single folding wheel and wide side decks, although without the ramps to the foredeck seen on the two largest recent models in the range, the Sun Odyssey 440 and 490.<\/p>\n
The 319 has a well-executed transom swim step, but not a full fold-down bathing platform. This is a sensible compromise on a boat that needs to be competitively priced and is an arrangement that\u2019s less vulnerable to damage when berthing stern-to Mediterranean style. A two-inch teak toe rail gives significantly more security than the standard minimum height of one inch. For those who want sailing with minimal effort there\u2019s an optional furling self-tacking jib, although this inevitably sacrifices some sail area compared to the standard arrangement.<\/p>\n
The interior has impressive headroom for a boat of this size \u2013 despite the model name, the hull length is a shade under 31ft \u2013 and the forward cabin has equally generous proportions. There\u2019s plenty of standing room, again with great headroom, as well as good stowage for clothes. Yes, the double berth here is a triangular shape, but it\u2019s of a good size, with lots of width even at the foot.<\/p>\n
In recent years many manufacturers have jettisoned chart tables in favour of providing more space elsewhere in the yacht, but the Sun Odyssey 319 has an aft facing navigation table of a useful size. The enclosed double aft cabin is also well executed. Granted, this isn\u2019t of the proportions of those on today\u2019s 40+ft yachts, but it\u2019s still a decent space for a comfortable night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
Arguably the biggest compromise that highlights the boat\u2019s size is the small galley that lacks fixed worktop spaces, even if it gains marks for having ventilation in the form of an opening port above the cooker.<\/p>\n
