2018 Jeanneau 51
2018 Jeanneau 440
If there’s one word that describes the boats comprising the class of 2018 in SAIL magazine’s annual Best Boats contest it’s “fun.” It would be hard to imagine a better bunch of boats for getting anyone with a penchant for sailing out onto the waters of the world.
Jeanneau 51
The Jeanneau 51 provides many of the same innovations that proved so successful on the Jeanneau 54 in a smaller, more affordable and easier-to-handle package. Most obvious of these are the cutouts in the aft cabintrunk bulkhead that extend the cockpit benches a foot or so forward of the companionway, thereby offering a pair of cozy nooks to hang out in under the dodger. Other shared features include a magnificently large, articulated drop-down swim platform, well-configured twin helm stations and a lounging area forward. Under sail, the boat is easy to manage, easily driven and refreshingly seakindly underway.
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440
The first of the latest generation of Jeanneau’s storied Sun Odyssey line, the Philippe Briand-designed Sun Odyssey 440 includes a number of truly innovative features: first and foremost among them, inclined sidedecks that slope down around the twin helms to make for as safe and smooth a transition from the cockpit forward as possible. Other highlights include an asymmetrical cockpit with a dedicated L-shaped lounging area to starboard; room for a portable fridge unit in the cockpit table; and a low boom that makes it that much easier to tend to the main. The result is a truly groundbreaking boat that is as seaworthy and good-looking as it is comfortable, whether on the hook or on passage.
SAIL’s Best Boats judges will be examining The Jeanneau 440 in the coming months. As in years past, boats will be judged in 10 different categories, including flagship monohull and multihull; cruising monohulls and multihulls between 31 and 40, and 41 and 50 feet; small cruiser; daysailer; and performance boats. Special awards may also be given out for things like exceptional cockpits or systems.Be sure to check out our December issue to see which ones win.
