Introducing S/V Forquilla, a beautifully refitted Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2, completely restored in 2023-2024 and meticulously prepared for long voyages. These vessels were designed by Philippe Briand/Jeanneau Design Team and built by Jeanneau in France from 1997 to 2003. Known for their high-quality construction, and luxurious accommodations the Sun Odyssey 45.2 has the best of both worlds as a proven, seaworthy vessel without sacrificing creature comforts.
S/V Florquilla has been the cherished home of a Spanish family for the past five years, during which they have navigated the globe, including a memorable Atlantic crossing in 2024. They have documented their journey on social media as @velero_forquilla, showcasing the boat's adventures and their unique lifestyle on the open water. With the arrival of their second child, they have made the bittersweet decision to pass on this beloved sailboat to a new owner who will continue to nurture her spirit and keep the dream of adventure alive.
This beautiful, spacious Jeanneau Sun Odyssey has a stunning teak interior in immaculate condition. The 3 cabins with 2 heads layout have a double owner’s cabin in the bow with an en-suite head and two cabins in the stern with the second head located next to the galley; both heads are equipped with a shower and a Jabsco marine manual toilet (2025). All of the double berths have new (2024) special breathable mattresses for boats and premium quality 14cm Flexima and pillows for your comfort. There is a folding bed system with hydraulics installed (2024) in the bow cabin to take advantage of all the storage under the bed. In the salon the main table is on hydraulic legs with two custom cushions that allow converting the central space into a large bed for extra guests. The galley has ample counter space with large double sinks and is equipped with an independent chest-style fridge and freezer with digital thermostat, and an induction cooktop and electric oven for greater safety. For extra comfort there are 2 air conditioners: Climma Marine Air Conditioning Compact 12 R EH heat pump - one for the bow cabin and main cabin and the other for the stern cabins.
S/V Forquilla is powered by a well maintained 55 hp Yanmar 4JH3-TF diesel engine with 4081 hours. The sail inventory and new rigging is impressive and consists of: Mainsail (2023) in Vectron fabric with Harken car, Genoa (2023) in Vectron fabric with furler, Code Zero 110m (2024) with CX25 storage, anti-twist line, and ultraviolet protection, and a Storm jib with blocks for installation on a baby stay. There are also a spare Mainsail and Genoa. The mast is the “tall rig” version and has new oversized rigging completely changed in 2023 and a baby stay was installed with a removable system to free the bow while sailing. This vessel has a long-detailed list of navigation equipment on board, including: B&G navigation system setup with dual autopilot and Halo 20 and radar, two exterior displays at each helm with control for wind equipment, log, depth sounder, and pilot, a button controller for the pilot at each helm, and an extra display and controller for the autopilot.
The current owners have installed an impressive amount of high-quality equipment for extended cruising, featuring: complete Mastervolt power system new in 2024, with two 6000w Mastervolt 12v lithium batteries and 2 FuturaSun FU400M Silk Plus solar panels (800w total). For your extra energy needs, there is a Silentwind Pro 12V wind turbine with MPPT Hybrid Boost Charge Controller Rev.0 (new 2024) and a Paguro 6000 6KVA/5KW at 50Hz with Lombardini Marine engine model LDW - 502M with only 367 hours. To keep your water tanks full there is a 100L/h 230V Mistral Auto Baitek desalinator (installed 2024). On the stern is a stout stainless-steel platform that holds the 2 solar panels, wind turbine, and the Starlink antenna support. For your security there is also a security camera on the stern platform for exterior surveillance with solar panel for autonomous charging and an interior security camera for salon-kitchen surveillance (new 2025). The Imnasa 225RIB semi-rigid dinghy comes with two motor options: a Torqedo Travel 1103CS 3HP electric outboard motor or the 2024 Yamaha 4 stroke 6/EE gas outboard to ensure you get to shore.
This unique vessel is being sold with many spare engine parts: engine belts, alternator belts, diesel and oil filters, alternators, pulleys, etc. and a large variety of tools as well as a long list of safety equipment. Also, in 2024 new bronze thru-hulls and bottom valves were installed. There is a detailed inventory list as well as a detailed list of the extensive upgrades done during the refit.
S/V Forquilla is currently stored on the hard in Río Dulce, Guatemala, recognized as one of the safest hurricane shelters in the Caribbean. The boat is meticulously maintained under full cover, kept dehumidified using the two new 1.8L Rosthal dehumidifiers onboard and is checked monthly by a trusted local caretaker.
S/V Florquilla is more than just a sailboat; but an invitation to explore the world, create unforgettable memories, and embrace the freedom of the sea. If you are ready to embark on new adventures, S/V Forquilla is waiting for you to continue her legacy!
