JPK 45 boat test: A performance cruiser that provides memorable enjoyment

• Toby Hodges
• September 26, 2019

This quirky French cruiser has the soul of a race yacht and is full of innovations. Toby Hodges sails the JPK 45

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

Pascal and Alexis Loison entered the sailing history books in 2013 for an extraordinary achievement. Not only did the father-and-son team win the Rolex Fastnet Race overall, but they did so double-handed, racing against more than 300 fully crewed yachts. They were sailing a JPK 1010 named Night & Day .

Any racing sailor who hadn’t heard of JPK before then will now know all about these IRC performers, which are built in Brest. In the last few years JPK yachts, and in particular the 1010 and 1080 models, have continued to dominate just about every coastal and offshore race in British and French waters.

They are competent in most conditions, whether sailed short-handed or fully crewed. Now the JPK 45 is the yard’s brilliant take on a cruising yacht.

The optional composite frame is strong enough to stand on, to dive off and to lift and stow a dinghy. It also provides a useful support and position for carrying solar panels and antennae

Cruising sailors may be less familiar with this brand and builder. The JPK 45, one of the 2017  European Yacht of the Year nominees, is only the yard’s second cruising model. We tested number one of this purposeful looking design, which was commissioned by a group of three French owners for global sailing.

We sailed her out of La Rochelle with Monsieur JPK himself, Jean-Pierre Kelbert, just after the boat had returned from a ten-month, 12,000-mile transatlantic circuit. And what we found on board left me in no doubt that the JPK brand’s reputation for building cruising yachts is only going to grow from here.

Hitting it off

It is pretty rare for me to step aboard a new boat and feel totally confident and at ease with its ability. The first word written in my notebook during our sea trial was simply “YES!!” And this was despite what could otherwise have been quite a nerve-racking experience.

JPK 1030 test: The intuitive French flier that’s easy for couples to control

Pip Hare feels right at home on the JPK 1030 – a quick, no-nonsense boat that’s ideal for short-handers

Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300 review: The pocket rocket inspired by foiling IMOCAs

Jeanneau’s latest Sun Fast is a whole bundle of fun, as Pip Hare discovered on a full test of the…

Having just boarded the JPK 45 from a RIB off La Rochelle, Kelbert handed me the helm and set about unfurling the headsail. All around us, however, was a fleet of more than 80 Mini 6.50m race boats, together with a hoard of spectator vessels.

The Minis were racing under spinnaker towards the finish line, but I quickly realised there was little cause for concern. Both the direct control of the JPK 45 and the calm confidence of Kelbert himself put me instantly at ease. With the 110 per cent genoa unfurled we were up to speed in no time. The wind played ball too, picking up to 10 knots – the most we had seen all weekend.

The Dacron sails looked exactly as you would expect from a suit that had done an Atlantic circuit, having lost a little shape. Not that this seemed to affect the performance of the JPK 45. She maintained a handsome 8 knots in 10 knots true at 31-33 ° to the apparent wind (and 7.3 knots in 7.1 knots true).

Toby at the helm of the JPK 45

And it felt wonderful behind the wheels. The helm is relatively neutral, as can be expected from a modern performance yacht with twin rudders, but is light and responsive to the touch. She is a slippery, stiff boat, too.

You can feel the soul of a race boat within her lightweight construction. The JPK 45 has more curve in the bilge turn compared to JPK’s racing models and more volume forward. But beamy aft sections, long, hard hull chines and a high concentration of ballast low down in the fin keel provide oodles of righting moment.

A twin headsail set-up, with genoa and staysail furlers controlled from the cockpit, is a useful cruising solution. It allows you to easily adapt the sailplan to the conditions. Short-tacking through the congested waters proved a little slow under genoa, however. Although there is good clearance between the headsails, you still need to pull the genoa through manually from the foredeck if trying to tack without furling.

This helped produce figures of high 7s in 8.5 knots at 60 ° apparent – and allowed us still to match or exceed the true wind speed when it dropped to 6 knots.

With the kite doused and stowed in the sock, Kelbert was back on deck, hoisting a gennaker on a furler for the long fetch back to La Rochelle. This is a useful sail for a cruiser’s arsenal too, which Kelbert says can be used from 60 ° to the true wind right up to 120 ° .

We typically clocked 7 knots in 8 knots true, close reaching at 35-40 ° to the apparent wind. It was the type of sailing you never want to end. It is gratifying to be able to tune a cruising yacht easily and to be able to take advantage of light breeze conditions so well.

Mini skippers waved to Kelbert as we threaded our way through the fleet, which by now was queuing to get into the old port. We furled the gennaker in the channel and gybed into the marina as if we were on a sportsboat.

As the main dropped into a stackpack, I started the engine and eased the JPK 45 into a tight pontoon berth. To do this on a new boat in a seriously congested channel and marina is a testament to the confidence this boat instils.

The inboard winch and clutch layout with rope bin stowage is superb

Deck layout

The winch and clutch layout is superb and particularly well suited to short-handed sailing. The two Harken Performa winches each side are located inboard, within easy reach of the wheels and in a position where it is easy to stand and grind.

It continues to amaze me that so few cruising yachts have primaries mounted inboard like this. Standing over a winch in the cockpit is so much safer than crouching over the coaming. It can also negate the need for powered winches at this size as you can use your body more efficiently when working the handle.

The JPK 45 has eight clutches each side through which the running rigging and sheets are led to the winches. Even the backstay and runners feed to these winches (although spinnaker halyards use a mast base winch), while large boxes directly below swallow the tail ends neatly. The only negative point of the JPK 45’s clutch and winch set-up is the friction caused by the 90 ° turning blocks for the headsail sheets and furling lines.

An optional rigid doghouse provides excellent cockpit protection and keeps the mainsheet clear. The forward window panel opens for ventilation

Keeping the sailing systems in a compact area aft, near the wheels, also helps maximise cockpit space. The rigid doghouse (which is optional) provides all the protection you could wish for in the cockpit without needing to rely on a high coachroof or coamings. The benches are long enough to seat four on each side of the large fixed table, and flat coamings allow a particularly easy step out to the side decks.

The doghouse also helps keep the mainsheet out of the cockpit. Instead of a traveller, a bridle attached to the roof is a practical cruising compromise. The blocks attach to the boom using simple lashing strops and the sheet leads forward to the mast before returning aft to the winches.

The JPK 45 has a safe deck. Non-slip grip is incorporated into the whole deck, a toerail is moulded in and there is a handrail on the foredeck. The swim ladder is a clever design as it doubles to form the central section of the aft guardrail when in raised mode.

A deep chain locker includes space for housing fenders and warps. The composite bowsprit carries the anchor rollers (one or two anchors). Note the foredeck hand rails too

Beneath the aft helm seats is a large gas locker to port and a liferaft locker to starboard. The latter has an aft-facing flap that operates via a pulley hidden under the foot brace. A large central locker aft also provides access to the JP3 Vectran steering gear.

Why no frills works

Modern French performance cruiser builders, such as Pogo, Django and JPK, keep their interiors lightweight, simple yet practical. But they are in danger of feeling spartan. The interior of the JPK 45 is just the right side of utilitarian for an offshore performance cruiser – basic maybe, but seaworthy certainly.

The light, bright and practical interior is finished in bleached oak veneer. After 12,000 miles of non-stop hard use by seven to eight sailors, it still looked new down below (although Kelbert admitted it needed a good scrub after its recent return). The waterproof vinyl used on the soles and hull linings is a smart, wipe-clean solution that is vacuum-glued on for a simple light finish.

The test boat had three double cabins, a Pullman and a single heads. While the central galley/saloon section of the layout cannot be altered, there is the option to remove the Pullman in favour of a second heads. One of the aft cabins can also be replaced with a workshop/utility cabin.

The large, near vertical coachroof windows help provide plenty of natural light without glare. The saloon is slightly raised to allow room for tanks to be kept as central and low as possible below, and it shares the beam with the longitudinal galley.

The fixed table can seat six. A central unit around the mast base, which resembles a keel box (there is an option for a lifting keel), provides both stowage in drawers and support when working at the galley on starboard tack. Otherwise there is little usable stowage space in the saloon, but plenty under the berths.

The modern interior is simple, practical and light – both in terms of weight and natural illumination

The layout is less conventional forward of the mast where there is a chest of drawers-cum-workdesk unit to starboard and a Pullman cabin to port. The forward cabin is simple, with ample natural light, 6ft 1in headroom and a large, high double berth with roomy stowage below.

The compromise to the layout of the test boat is that there is only one heads (which is relatively compact). But this still has the practical inclusion of a large wet-hanging locker within the shower area.

The secret to JPK ’ s success?

What makes JPK’s race boats win so consistently and its cruising yachts slip along so well? Smart design and resin-infused foam sandwich construction. The whole hull is infused in one shot for rigidity.

JPK uses a labour intensive method: virtually all the parts that go into the boat are moulded and all the interior furniture is foam sandwich, laminated into the hull to contribute to the structure. But this method is expensive – the JPK 45 is around twice the price of a series production Beneteau/Hanse of similar size and more comparable in price to an X-Yacht or Solaris.

Light floods the modest longitudinal galley. Note the French racing-style bucket seat (far right) and large chart table

Jacques Valer, who has designed all the JPKs, calculates the weight of every single component that goes into the boat. There is only around 200kg of wood in total on the JPK 45 – even the doors have foam inside.

The JPK 45 is designed to be efficient to sail upwind – and strong. It is reinforced in key areas with high-density foam, which Kelbert likes using as, unlike balsa, it accepts some water and deformation. In fact, the build technique sounds like a similar approach to that of Pogo.

But Kelbert says JPK uses more lead ballast. “JPKs are not as fast in a crosswind, but are faster and more comfortable at other angles,” he says. “If the wind is on the nose, it has to be comfortable.”

From windsurfers to Fastnet winners

Jean-Pierre Kelbert (pictured right), who founded JPK, is a former professional windsurfer and European champion in 1988 and 1989. He founded his own board manufacturing company in 1992, but by the late 1990s windsurfer production had moved to Thailand so he started moulding parts for other shipyards.

Kelbert is also a successful short-handed sailor and it was while racing his JOD35 one-design in 2003 that he saw (and lost to) his first Jacques Valer design. He asked Valer to design a 960, which quickly found success (a JPK 960 won its class in the 2007 Rolex Fastnet Race).

But it was the launch of the 1010 in 2010 that really put JPK on the racing yacht map. Together with the subsequent 1080 (2014), the 1010 ‘has won everything,’ says Kelbert – referring to IRC crewed races, double-handed, the transatlantic Transquadra etc. “The 2013 Fasnet Race win created a lot of international recognition – since then we’ve always been full of orders.”

Kelbert says he still tries to train as much as he can, including lots of double-handed racing in Brittany. “It’s because I practise a lot that I know where everything should go on deck and know the height everything should be.”

For the JPK 45 cruising yacht design, Kelbert was thinking of the boat he’s always wanted to have. “I love racing but equally want to spend time cruising with my family. It’s all about having fun – maximum pleasure.”

A boat can be all about the feeling it gives you. And the enjoyment the JPK 45 gave me on the helm is a memory that stayed with me. The proven record of Kelbert’s boats and his faith in their build quality combines to put you instantly at ease. The JPK 45 is not your typical performance cruiser. She is fast, stiff and seaworthy, but she looks more like a workboat for speedy ocean cruising. The aesthetics, inside and out, will be too stark for many. The doghouse is an option, but one you would surely take unless prioritising looks over comfort. So this is a niche yacht for those who want to get places at a good pace and actively enjoy sailing while doing so. By the time you read this, the boat tested will be on her way to Brazil and then on into the Pacific. The JPK 45 is a clever culmination of Valer’s slippery designs and the yard’s weight-obsessive builds. It has a layout born of thousands of short-handed offshore sailing miles, which makes it as practical and as enjoyable to sail and trim as possible. I predict that the first seven owners who have already ordered this boat will log minimal engine hours – this yacht is one that just makes you want to keep sailing.

Yacht description.

Built in 2008, nr 5, by King Marine, Buenos Aires. Designed by Mark Mills. First race June 2008: Commodores Cup,Cowes, Solent

Active racing in The Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Ireland and France untill 2015. 

In 2017 she had a total refit and was transformed in a cruising yacht to sail doublehanded. Since 2017  sailing in the Med. On the moment lying in Marina St Elmo, Cagliari, Sardinia.

The KING 40 is a true dual-purpose cruiser/racer which can compete successfully offshore or around the cans, yet still offers a comfortable cockpit and interior for relaxed family sailing. The KING 40 builds on the two most successful designs of this size in recent years, the IRC 39 Mariners Cove and the IRC 40 Tiamat: both UK IRC Champions in 2006. With winning in its genes, the KING 40 has been positioned to ensure that it has the widest possible performance band, with particular focus on light and medium airs racing. High stability is encouraged by the IRC rule and ensures pace all the way up the wind range. The KING 40 easily surpasses existing stability requirements for the world’s great ocean races.

This is a turn-key IRC race boat that allows the new owner to immediately get out there and be at the top of the leaderboard. This Mills design still is one of the most competitive IRC boats in this size bracket

The King 40 is built in accordance with the European CE-certification and meets the CE-Directive 94/25/CE Category A “Ocean” for recreational vessels.

Gary King answers Below Deck Sailing Yacht questions amid Season 5 delay

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King has been answering fan questions as we all wait for news on Season 5 of the hit yachting show.

It’s been over a year since Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was filmed.

While waiting for more Below Deck Sailing Yacht news, Gary took to Instagram to answer some questions.

Several of those questions had to do with him returning for another season.

“Aww thanks :) I will if they ask me back,” he wrote in one slide, which was a picture of him doing a confessional on the show.

Another reply from Gary stated, “It’s not up to me :) but if they back I’d for sure do it for sure.”

The reality TV star also let a fan know to tell the powers that be on the show they want him back.

Other questions from Gary’s Instagram Q&A session had to do with some of his cast members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Gary was asked if he still keeps in touch with Chief Marcos Spaziani, to which Gary replied he just saw him in Los Angeles recently. Marcos was also given props from Gary, who claimed he couldn’t pick a favorite chef’s dish because anything from Marcos was the bomb.

When asked about his favorite season to film, Gary replied, “Goona say season 3 due to the giggle club.”

One fan wanted to know if Gary still keeps in touch with Captain Glenn Shephard. Gary said he had just spoken to the captain for about an hour the day before.

Gary’s friendship with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher was another hot topic. They do still keep in touch and even reunited just a couple of weeks ago.

In a fun fact kind of way, Gary shared a behind-the-scenes picture from filming.

What’s happening with Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has already been delayed for months. In the past, the sailing show aired in the summer. However, Below Deck Med slipped into that spot this year with Season 9 currently airing.

Bravo did tease that Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht would hit Bravo airwaves this fall. The network continues to have promos for all the Real Housewives shows returning this fall but not Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Only three episodes remain in Below Deck Med Season 9, and no trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been released yet.

All of this has fans worried Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 will be shelved and the show canceled as no leaked photos from Season 6 have surfaced either. The latter is a big deal since by this time of year we should have seen something from filming.

Keep checking back with Monsters and Critics for more details on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, which we hope to have soon.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

No one wants this drunk on TV! @BravoTV let him continuously get drunk and sexually harass women! He even tried to get one of the girls on Project Runway drunk so he could take advantage of her! He’s a predator & he does not belong on TV reaping all the benefits & getting paid to drink free booze and sexual attack women! He’s a menace!

• Fans speculate about the return of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 after Gary King's alleged misconduct.
• A recent Bravo commercial confirms Sailing Yacht's return, sparking excitement among viewers for its comeback this fall.
• While uncertainty remains about Gary's involvement, fans can still anticipate the return of one of the best Below Deck spin-offs.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5's fate has finally been confirmed after nearly a year of speculation, giving an answer about the series after Gary King 's alleged bad behavior. While there has been speculation about the Below Deck spin-off for nearly a year, there have been a lot of questions over whether the series should even bother to return after Gary, the First Officer working aboard Parsifal III , was accused of sexual misconduct in 2023 . Gary staunchly denied the rumors, but news about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been at a complete standstill since the allegations surfaced.

While Gary King's involvement isn't known, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 will air in fall 2024.

According to Pinsleric on Reddit, a short commercial aired on Bravo in the last day that showed the title graphics of this fall's returning shows. Among the bunch, with the Real Housewives franchise taking point, it was revealed that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 will be returning to Bravo this year . "Unsure if this is the previously filmed season 5 or if they filmed another season after without Gary - but this seems to be the first confirmation that the show is not completely scrapped," the user shared, before posting the video for confirmation.

While its unclear if the season is the same one that was already filmed and had Gary in it , or when Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is set to air, the video appears to be confirming that it will be back on Bravo. Though there were plenty of mixed feelings about the future of Sailing Yacht , there will no doubt be some excitement to see one of the best Below Deck spin-offs returning to the network.

How Should Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Handle Gary King?

Gary king will likely appear in sailing yacht season 5.

Gary's involvement in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has yet to be confirmed, but it’s likely that he’ll be a part of the season if Bravo hasn’t reshot it entirely . It appears that the season of Sailing Yacht that was shot last summer is going to air on Bravo, meaning Gary will be most likely be heavily involved in the storylines. After learning about the sexual misconduct allegations against Gary , which he’s vehemently denied throughout the last year, questions arose over his future involvement with the franchise, though Bravo gave enough credence to remove him from last year's BravoCon.

With Gary's behavior having taken a toll on Below Deck Sailing Yacht , his involvement in the series should be far more minimal than it would have been. Gary's attitude surrounding the accusations has been uncomfortable, and his social media presence has made it clear he doesn't believe he's done anything wrong. While the allegations haven't been confirmed, Gary's behavior in the past has led to questions about whether he’s telling the truth regarding his interactions with accuser Samantha Suarez. With the Below Deck spin-off returning, if Bravo hasn’t reshot it, Sailing Yacht should edit around Gary as much as possible.

Throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s run, it’s been clear that Gary has had more of a playboy attitude than a serious one, which has made his behavior around women seem more cavalier in past years . Now with sexual misconduct allegations running rampant and seemingly confirming Gary’s behavior has been poor, it’s possible that his involvement in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 could be major. The series is confirmed to be returning, which is a major win for fans who have been waiting to see if the Below Deck spin-off would be back, but it’s unclear where Gary stands.

St. Lucie County Commission OKs buying property at Port of Fort Pierce for mega-yacht repair

St. Lucie County is entering the mega-yacht repair business.

During an 18-minute special meeting Thursday, the County Commission unanimously approved County Administrator Howard Tipton's request to buy the 12-acre Indian River Terminal property at the Port of Fort Pierce for $25 million.

The county plans to operate a mega-yacht refurbishing business from the property to capitalize on the overcrowding of these facilities in South Florida.

In the past two years, three mega-yachts received refitting services at the port. Dean King, the owner of the property, had hoped to do more repairs there, but a deal fell through in August.

That is when the county started negotiations with King to buy the property, Tipton said.

Last Friday, King agreed to sell the property to the county.

In addition to the land, the proposed sale includes the submerged lands around the property and a 10 percent ownership in the 67 acres owned by Destin Beach Inc., owned by the family of businessman Lloyd Bell, who has been reluctant to sell or develop the property.

Now, county staff immediately would lease the property from King for $50,000 per month for the next three months and use it as a refurbishing center with Port Director Stan Payne overseeing the process. The lease amount would be deducted from the final purchase price.

“Immediately after the sale, we will be on the phone calling to see which ships we can line up to have them come,” Tipton said.

The county estimates the sale would create 100 full-time jobs with an average annual wage between $45,000 and $50,000, he said.

The county would pay for the sale by borrowing $1.6 million a year for 30 years, according to county records.

At first, the county plans to use money from its transportation reserves account to start repaying the loan. However, Tipton said he anticipates using revenue from the mega-yacht refurbishing as well as state grants. County-generated revenue projections show estimated monthly revenue projections of $57,600 for dockage.

Fort Pierce City Manager Nick Mimms said the city would “absolutely” contribute to the sale but the City Commission has yet to decide how much.

“We want to be 50-50 partners,” added Fort Pierce Mayor Linda Hudson.  

Revitalizing the 290-acre port, just north of downtown Fort Pierce, is a key component in the city’s and county’s economic development plans to bring jobs to the northwest part of Fort Pierce.

The sale follows the guidelines in the port master plan, the document that outlines development. It calls for the north area of the port and Harbour Pointe Park, a 20-acre parcel in the north end of the port, to be used for traditional port work and mega-yacht activity. Fisherman's Wharf would be a buffer between traditional industrial activity and the business and residencies in downtown Fort Pierce, according to the master plan.

The County Commission acts as the Port Authority, but Fort Pierce’s planning and zoning rules apply because the port is in the city.

The sale is contingent upon the findings during a 90-day “due-diligence” period, when the county would get two appraisals, an environmental assessment, a land survey and a title insurance commitment, Tipton said.

“It’s been a port for a long time,” Tipton said. “We’re not sure what’s there. We’re buying it as is, so we need to understand what will be in the ground.”

The county also plans to conduct an economic impact study on the number of jobs the sale could create, he said.

"After those 90 days, we either buy it or walk away," Tipton said.
