Jeanneau Yacht
It all began in 1957, when Henri Jeanneau, an aviation and motorcycle enthusiast, developed a passion for motorboats. They had to be fast. He was eager to participate in the motorboat race "6 Hours of Paris". At that time, it was a major French highlight. Now a racing boat was needed so that Henri Jenneau could even compete. Fortunately for him, his father's workshop in Les Herbier was well equipped for this. He found everything he needed to build a racing boat. Now no one could stop him. In the meantime, he even took the lead in the field. The decision was made, water sports became part of his job description.
Just one year later, another breakthrough was achieved. The new polyester fiberglass resin material was used to build the boats. The extraordinary technology from petroleum chemistry set completely new standards in boat building. Initially, the work processes were still carried out by hand. Three boats a week left the shipyard. Customers were somewhat skeptical about the new material polyester. They could not imagine that this type of construction would be more efficient than wood. With a little tact and persuasion, the "Sport Polyester" model was finally able to assert itself on the market. Other series, such as "Mirage and Prélude" followed. Jeanneau Yacht finally took up the challenge and built boats that left nothing to be desired. Use a Jeanneau yacht for a trip on the coast of Grienchenland, Spain or Croatia.
Sailing becomes a popular sport and Jeanneau yacht is part of it
The 60s are characterized by changes and a spirit of optimism. A new feeling of freedom crystallizes. Not only in the area of fashion and music a new appearance can be recognized. Even the boat industry breaks new ground. In 1964, the Jeanneau shipyard let the sailboat "Alizé" roll off the assembly line. With this, the success curve goes upwards. In addition, series production of the Sea Bird motorboat starts. Another step in the right direction. Legendary models such as "Love Love" and "Sangria" follow. Especially the boat "Sangria" is highly appreciated because of its design and is very popular. The Jeanneau yacht success story continues. Especially because sailing has become a new popular sport. This is exactly the reason why the Jenneau Yacht is part of it.
There is more to the Jeanneau Yacht and the shipyard proves it when building the catamarans. The boats are not only fast and stable, but always leave a confident impression on all race courses. But it also goes more quietly. Jeanneau Yacht focuses on elegance and comfort in the Sun Odyssey boats. In 2000, this sailboat is presented. Professionals, engineers and design offices give their best day after day to achieve these results.
The Jeanneau Yacht spreads
To be able to construct the Jeanneau Yacht at all, a lot of space is needed, of course. Therefore, over the years, the production facility has spread. In the meantime, work is carried out on 40 hectares. This also means that all company processes have to be perfectly coordinated. Jeanneau Yacht can relax in this area. The refinements are tinkered together in the technical center that has been built. Only the highest quality and finest materials are used in the manufacturing process. To meet all requirements, the shipyard relies on well-structured process control and its own know-how. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and optimized logistics processes ultimately contribute to the recipe for success. Continuously, the strategy around Jeanneau Yacht boatbuilding is being expanded.
