by The French shipyard is developing its flagship Jeanneau Yachts 65, which builds on the exterior and interior options presented on the 60 launched earlier this year.
Jeanneau is developing a flagship Jeanneau Yachts 65 that’s scheduled to be launched at Groupe Beneteau’s Monfalcone facility in Italy by the end of 2021. Like the Jeanneau Yachts 60 launched earlier this year, the 65 is designed by Philippe Briand with interior styling by Andrew Winch of Winch Design.
Also like the 60, the model features Jeanneau’s walk-around deck and is offered in two versions. The ‘sport’ performance version has an open cockpit, fixed attachment for the mainsheet and highperformance rigging choices. The ‘leisure cruising option includes a mainsail arch with a hard top, a self-tacking jib and an outdoor galley.
Twin helms are located far aft, close to the winches, allowing space for a large cockpit. Forward of the two large storage lockers are two cockpit tables, which can be electrically lowered to transform the area into a sundeck. Aft, the transom converts into a big swim platform with access to the tender garage.
The interior benefits from 12 deck hatches, complemented by an additional hatch in the sail locker or skipper’s cabin, which provide “a level of light and ventilation that is unique aboard a monohull”, according to Jeanneau.
There’s a choice of four accommodation layouts including a twocabin version with owner suites fore and aft. Three-cabin options include the owner’s cabin forward or aft, while there’s also a four-cabin option.
Midships is an open C-shaped galley to port, while forward the saloon features a C-shaped sofa and a dining table to starboard and a sofa to port. The woodwork in teak or white oak, both open-pore, are matched with a choice of floorboards and a wide selection of leather upholsteries.
Meanwhile, Jeanneau is debuting its Sun Odyssey 380 at the Southampton International Boat Show (September 10-19) on England’s south coast. The French builder will then show the newcomer at Grand Pavois La Rochelle (September 28-October 3) and the Barcelona International Boat Show (October 12-17).
The yacht is the newest addition to the eighth generation of the Sun Odyssey range, which also includes the 440, 490 and most recently the 410.
