Sail Magazine " It’s a great size for a cruising couple or anybody interested in taking some of their less experienced friends out for a cruise. In addition to being a comfortable passagemaker, the boat is also a lot of fun to just sail around for the heck of it."
Inspired by the Jeanneau 54, this model was designed by naval architect, Philippe Briand and designer, Andrew Winch. Living spaces have been carefully studied, with meticulous attention to detail and the use of fine materials, to contribute to an excellent cruising experience and a luxurious lifestyle on board.
