Welcome to our web blog

You have reached Steve and Lynne's web blog for the sailing vessel Scarlet Lady our Jeanneau 42 DS.

Our voyages started in April 2012 when we left Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne England to join up for the ARC Rally Portugal, an annual cruising and social event organised by the World Cruising Club. Our initial aim was to cruise in the Mediterranean for a while however, in 2014 we sold Scarlet Lady to purchase a larger yacht equipped for long distance cruising.






About Scarlet Lady

Scarlet Lady is a 2007 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 Deck Saloon. She has a Bermudan Sloop rig with in-mast furling and is easly handled by a crew of 2.
Jeanneau went on make this yacht in a 3 cabin version but ours has the 2 cabin layout and is very spacious, light and airy.
Recently, Jeanneau have announced a brand new model called a Sun Odyssey 41 DS which is very nice indeed.
