Jeanneau 64
Born of a close partnership between Philippe Briand and Andrew Winch, the Jeanneau 64 features elegant lines with classic proportions. ... Every Jeanneau Yacht is designed to be a sailor's boat, and the Jeanneau Yachts 64 is no exception. This flagship is secure, fast, and enjoyable to sail.

Here is a yacht guaranteed to surprise. Packed within this 64ft 1in hull, the latest from Jeanneau, are a multitude of qualities that will make you question your preconceptions about the brand. The French production builder has married the world of big-boat luxury and comfort with production boat functionality and pricing to create a new market.

The 64 has been drawn by leading superyacht designers and built by Jeanneau to an impressive quality.
A small superyacht

Think Jeanneau and you probably think basic, economic no-frills production cruiser, or perhaps a wipe-clean bareboat charter yacht. Jeanneau yachts are designed and perform consistently well, but remain, essentially, middle-of-the-road cruising boats. A 64ft Jeanneau that looks like a small superyacht will take most by surprise.

This striking new Jeanneau is 8ft longer than the previous flagship, the 57, launched in 2009 – a telling indication of how LOA has spiralled in recent years.
Technology upgrade

Peer beneath the forward soleboards of the raised saloon and you will find a compact 1.5 tonne Harken captive winch neatly squirrelled away. The Jeanneau is the smallest production yacht to fit a captive winch, a prime example of how to use superyacht technology when price (an extra €21,500) and space allow. Here it provides push-button ease where a winch doesn’t need to share functions. A captive winch can also be fitted for the main halyard.

A vast cockpit and a walk-in engine room were the two most desirable features to top Jeanneau’s wishlist for the 64. But there are many more subtle signs of the big-boat touch throughout. For example, halyard- tensioning tracks at the mast base tidy lines that are seldom adjusted, such as furling foresail halyards. Glassfibre bulwarks that run from stem to stern look smart and provide a feeling of security on deck. And a recess is built into the anchor locker to offer the option for a rotating anchor arm.



The 64 was conceived to be the largest size of yacht that can be managed without a permanent crew. So all the styling merits and gadgets count for little if she can’t be handled easily. As the wind whistled through the rigging of yachts nestled in Marseille’s old port, I wondered whether we would be given the chance to put this to the test.

For our two-day visit, the forecast predicted 25-30 knot Mistral winds that would ease by ten knots by the second day. Nosing past the breakwater, we instantly shipped green water in the cockpit and it became clear that the winds weren’t going to listen to what the forecast suggested.

We sailed for the majority of the time with just two aboard, in winds averaging Gale Force 7-8 over both days. An in-mast furling mainsail and a self-tacking furling jib made it possible to set the optimal canvas easily, without either of us needing to leave the aft cockpit.

We reduced the mainsail until heel angle became stable – the equivalent of three reefs for the most part – and sailed with full jib where possible. The test boat had a 100 per cent furling genoa on the forestay, plus this small self-tacking jib set off an inner stay. The jib acted like a staysail, providing useful drive. It is a choice I would take in preference to the standard offering of self-tacking jib on the main forestay.
