Efa Mar – 2002 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40 Sailing Yacht
Well-Equipped Three-Cabin Cruiser with Major 2025–2026 Upgrades
Efa Mar is a 2002 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40 offering a practical three-cabin cruising layout, full air-conditioning and a useful inventory of equipment for cruising and living aboard in Southeast Asia. Recent investment during 2025 and 2026 includes a new mainsail, serviced furling genoa, new Raymarine Axiom 9 chartplotter and autopilot, replacement house and engine batteries, a new propeller and refrigerator thermostat. Prior upgrades & maintenance items include new standing rigging in 2018. Powered by a Yanmar 4JH3E 56HP shaft-drive diesel with approximately 6,000 hours, Efa Mar is reported to be in good overall condition for her age. Both the main engine and portable generator are in good working order. She is currently berthed at Rebak Island Marina in Langkawi, an established starting point for cruising Malaysia, Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian region.
Yanmar 56HP Shaft-Drive Diesel
Efa Mar is powered by a Yanmar 4JH3E 56HP diesel engine with shaft drive and approximately 6,000 running hours. The engine is reported to be in good working order. The yacht was hauled out in December 2025, when a new propeller was installed. She is now due for antifouling, and prospective buyers should budget for this work. This has already been taken into consideration in the owner’s asking price. For electrical power away from shore, Efa Mar carries a portable 3.5kW petrol generator, which is also reported to be in good working order.
Three-Cabin Accommodation
The Sun Odyssey 40 makes effective use of her interior volume, and Efa Mar has the popular three-cabin configuration. Accommodation comprises:
- Forward master cabin
- Two aft double cabins
- One electric head
- Shower
- Air-conditioning throughout
The arrangement provides comfortable accommodation for family cruising, visiting guests or owners looking to spend extended periods living aboard. A Sony 52-inch television and Fusion stereo provide entertainment below deck.
Galley & Liveaboard Comfort
The galley is equipped for extended stays aboard and includes:
- 140-litre refrigerator/freezer
- Electric stove
- Single sink
The refrigerator thermostat was replaced in 2026. Full air-conditioning throughout the yacht is particularly useful for cruising and living aboard in Southeast Asia, while shore power and the portable generator provide flexibility between marina stays and time away from the dock.
New Mainsail & Serviced Genoa
The sail inventory has benefited from significant attention during 2026, whilst the standing rigging was replaced in 2018 The mainsail was replaced by Southeast Asia Sails in 2026, while the furling genoa was serviced by the same sailmaker during the year. The yacht also carries a 2018 spinnaker, which is reported to remain in excellent, almost-new condition. Sails & rigging include:
- Mainsail – new 2026
- Furling genoa – serviced 2026
- Spinnaker – 2018, reported in excellent condition
- Standing rigging – replaced in 2018
A bimini provides shade over the cockpit for tropical cruising.
Raymarine Electronics Upgraded in 2025
Navigation equipment has also received recent investment. A Raymarine Axiom 9 chartplotter and Raymarine autopilot were installed in December 2025, bringing two of the yacht’s most frequently used navigation systems considerably up to date. Electronics and navigation equipment include:
- Raymarine Axiom 9 chartplotter – December 2025
- Raymarine autopilot – December 2025
- Raymarine wind instruments
- Raymarine depth instrumentation
- Raymarine VHF/AIS
- AIS
This is complemented by a Fusion stereo system for entertainment aboard.
Batteries Replaced in 2026
The onboard battery system received further investment in 2026. Replacement batteries comprise:
- 2 × 100Ah house batteries – 2026
- 1 × engine starting battery – 2026
Together with shore power and the portable 3.5kW petrol generator, the electrical setup provides a practical arrangement for marina-based and coastal cruising.
Zodiac Tender with Torqeedo Electric Outboard
Efa Mar is sold with a Zodiac Cadet 280 Aero tender, providing a useful tender package for accessing shore and exploring anchorages. Rather than a conventional petrol outboard, the Zodiac is paired with a Torqeedo Travel 1003 electric outboard, providing quiet and convenient propulsion for tender use.
A Practical Southeast Asian Cruising Yacht
Efa Mar is presented as a well-equipped 2002 cruising yacht in good overall condition for her age, rather than as a yacht without age-related imperfections. There are some minor cosmetic defects consistent with a yacht of this age, and she is currently due for antifouling. These points have been taken into consideration in the asking price. Balanced against this is substantial recent investment in equipment that matters to a cruising owner: a 2026 mainsail, serviced genoa, 2025 Raymarine chartplotter and autopilot, 2026 batteries, new propeller and full air-conditioning. For buyers looking for a three-cabin cruising yacht already positioned in one of Southeast Asia’s most established sailing areas, Efa Mar offers a practical platform for continued cruising and liveaboard use.
