Jeanneau Guru Sun Liberty 34 Country: UK | Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top said:Hello Jeanneauians! As a potential Jeanneau owner I would like to ask what model Jeanneau is the most Deep or Blue Water Sailboat capable. I know that length has a say, but what model to start with? Please include any models that have been discontinued in the last 20 years. Thanks in advance. I love my model and had been used for ocean crossings - old Category 1 by design ( e.g. around the world) but not big 34ft - Sun Liberty 34 - can be found on a extremely competitive price |

But I’d buy an older Amel instead. So only an Amel is a "proper" offshore boat? Anything else? And what of the hundreds if not thousands of Jeanneau boats that are constantly sailing Blue Water and long distance crusing/sailing? |

Of course there are lots of others. Yes lots of lighter cruising boats have sailed RTW and arrived ok including older Jeanneaus. But it’s no secret that many of the older 80s/90s versions were built more simply and more solidly. Which is why they are still going strong. Recently I was in the market for a boat and looked at countless options including many boats that had sailed to NZ on their own bottoms - including lighter production boats. But it was easy to see the difference. After a few years of offshore cruising the lighter boats were showing the signs. But the purpose built machines still looked closer to new and less fatigued. I love my Jeanneau 42DS for coastal cruising and it might cross the South Pacific fine. But if I ran into a nasty weather system I’d rather take a hiding in something like an Amel which would handle the loads and fatigue better. I’d have to agree. I sailed a friends Ganley Pacemaker from NZ to Tonga. Steel hull, skeg rudder, sharp bottom (vs flat). It was a battleship, so when we hit some very nasty weather it just carried on like nothing was happening. It was a pig to handle in a marina and not a great short handed weekend cruiser but a great offshore boat. So it’s a matter of compromise, the right mix between offshore capable but useful for everyday sailing when you are at home. |

I'd prefer to sail to Tonga in a steel Ganley as well but would hate to live with it for weekend gulf cruising and marina berthing. Personally I don't feel defensive about this. My 42DS is a superb coastal cruiser but I'm the first to admit that you are pushing the boat outside it's comfort zone and original design purpose by heading offshore for extended periods. And I reckon Jeanneau would probably agree (although maybe more quietly)! |

But don't forget how many have circumnavigated in much smaller and supposedly less robust craft. And let's face it, 'true' bluewater boats as defined by Beth et al, are out of most people's reach unless they are up for a long refit. |

Jeanneau company focus on power boats from 1950 ~ to 1963. Jeanneau produced its first sailboat in 1964. Right now Jeanneau is one of the major sailboats, and power boat manufacturers in Europe.

The majority of Jeanneau boat owners like their boats. They all agree that Jeanneau boat sails nicely.
The Jeanneau boat owners love the beam reach on their boats, however downwind is a challenge to handle the boat. Another shortcoming of Jeanneau is the small tankage. It might be a problem if you plan to stay longer on the boat with a family.
Some boat owners also complain that Jeanneau boats do not have bright lighting, and lack of storage space.
Despite the fact that Jeanneau boats are not top end luxury in finishes and details, Jeanneau boat is a good quality boat overall. The best part of Jeanneau boats is it’s lower price compare to other similar boats.
According to Jeanneau company that their Jeanneau Yachts of 54, 55, 60 and 65 are all seaworthy, offshore cruising boats.
Jeanneau Yachts’s key features are their numerous options of interior layout and boat configurations to fit your sailing habit.
For example Jeanneau Yachts 60 has 19 possible layouts for you to choose. Owner’s cabin, guest cabin, gallery, living spaces can all adjusted to your needs. Besides layout you also has many options on sail, jib, foresail etc. You basically can design your Yacht the way you need.
Below is a good vide to walk through a Jeanneau 54 Yachts
In terms of boat quality, most boat owners agree that Jeanneau and Beneteau are same.
Since Jeanneau and Beneteau belong to same company GroupBeneteau, so their production, and technology are similar. They are both production boats and both have good reputation in quality.
However, few boat owners pointed out that Jeanneau boats perform better on cruising, and Beneteau boats have more room and storage space.
GroupBeneteau purchased Jeanneau company in 1995. Both Jeanneau and Beneteau brands belong to GroupBeneteau company.
It is not easy to find your dream boat. One aspect fit you perfectly but the other thing can not meet your requirement. I would suggest starting from your budget first then look at boats at your budget range.
The second step is to choose a boat to fit your purpose. If you want to motor around on the lake or river with family, a power boat will fit your need. If you want to spend time learning sailing skills, enjoy the smooth ride without an engine, go for a sailboat.
The third step is going to decide the size of your boat. Are you planning for a day cruise, weekend cruise, or long voyage like a week or so? if you plan a long crossing, you will need a big size boat because you need big tankage for water, more storage space for you and your family.
There is no perfect boat. The one fits your needs is the perfect boat for you. Sometimes you have to sacrifice one thing to get another.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49. For a boat focused on the needs of the lucrative charter market, the Sun Odyssey 49 has proved a remarkably adept bluewater cruiser. A large cockpit, easily managed sailplan and fine all-round performance obviously have something to do with this; cool features like a dedicated sail locker in the bow and a large nav station belowdecks don't hurt either.
Under power, the 41DS handles easily and well. With a sail drive powered by the standard 40hp diesel, the prop is well positioned to keep water pressure on the rudder, thus even at slow speeds the boat turns with assurance. Straight ahead, the boat will motor at 6.5 knots at a conservative 2000 rpms, yet will climb to her theoretical hull speed ...
