A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth, 44 engine hours a year (the median of 103 UK-listed sailing boats that report hours). An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2 has no published depreciation curve, so its depreciation is withheld.
Fuel is left out of both totals: for the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2, fewer than three of its listings give the fuel type.
The totals differ by less than the two berth bands do, so neither is marked cheaper to keep.

How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 5 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 12 boats in those years.
