There are surprises that succeed better than others. Jeanneau’s came out great. In fact, the French shipyard managed to keep the launch of its new 54-footer, the big news of the coming season, under wraps until the last moment, which will be officially unveiled in Cannes in September.
This is a model with attractive lines, characterized by the large fenestration on the sides of the deckhouse, which manages to maintain a low profile without limiting interior brightness (the four portholes on the broadside also intervene here), a distinctive feature of the Philippe Briand and Andrew Winch pairing, already authors of the 64-footer.
. The focus, also following market demands, is on an extra-large cockpit, which is even more livable thanks to the fold-down transom, which does not just become a bathing platform, but as can be seen in the photos is equipped with cushions to create two real sunbeds.
The winches are positioned immediately forward of the two rudder wheels, in a position that, at first glance, appears correct for working comfortably on the sheets. The split backstay appears, and this is an apt detail, away from the helmsman’s head (how often do you have to dodge it?). The sail plan counts an elongated mainsail and a low-overlap genoa, a clear sign of the desire to achieve a boat that is easy to handle and maneuver.
Jeanneau is thus aiming, after the launch of last year’s 64-foot flagship, to revamp its top of the range, completing a truly comprehensive offering that starts at 34 feet.
