New Jeanneau 51 announced

Only a few years ago Jeanneau made a bold decision to produce a new flagship 64 and to go upmarket, involving Andrew Winch interior design who has had a long collaboration with Philippe Briand in the World of Superyachts. The results was a huge success with 50 sold and Andrew actually buying one for himself. Last year it was followed with the new 54, which we are proud to have here for this year’s Sydney Show starting on Thursday the 28^th. The same design philosophy has been used, again to remarkable success with number 50 coming off the production line last week. So the International dealers were extremely keen to view the prototype 51 at the recent dealer meeting to see how it measured up. and the response was a resounding positive.

Pink Jobs and Blue Jobs – who should do what?

I’m going to come right out here and say I don’t believe in pink and blue jobs. Everyone on board should be competent to do most jobs that are required on a regular basis.

Jeanneau 2017 model year changes

While the most exciting announcement at the recent Jeanneau international Dealer Conference attended by PBS director Lee Condell was the new Jeanneau 51, also announced was the re-badging of the 57 to 58 to reflect the completely new interior design by Andrew Winch, and the R2 version of the Sun Fast 3200 with taller carbon rig, cockpit change and IRC keel. A significant change for the entire Sun Odyssey range announced is a new light timber option, which combined with three floor choices and multiple fabric options really offers a considerable amount of customisation. The traditional fine teak timber is still available, but for those that like the modern light timbers there is now an oak timber now available across the range from the Sun Odyssey 349 to the 519. Read More...
