The Sun Odyssey 45.2 has a fractional sloop rig with a double-spreader mast and a furling genoa.

Both versions have a U-shaped galley to port, a navigation station to starboard, and a spacious saloon with a large table and seating area.

The Sun Odyssey 45.2 has two keel options: a standard fin keel with a draught of 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) or a shoal keel with a draught of 1.35 m (4 ft 5 in). Both keels are made of cast iron and have winglets for improved stability.

The Sun Odyssey 45.2 is a fast and easy-to-handle sailboat that performs well in various wind and sea conditions.
