Jeanneau First Cousin in Sydney Hobart Race

[MalcolmP]

Whilst regrettably there are no modern Jeanneau's in this years Sydney - Hobart Race, there is however a Dynamique 62 which is a very close "First Cousin" created by the Jeanneau family and designer by Philippe Briand after the Jeanneau yard and brand was sold to Bangor Punta. Well worth following this classic yacht from Tasmania

There are also several more modern Jeanneau "Second Cousins" from the Beneteau stable in the race

All is not lost...

There are some Jeanneau's currently racing down to Tassie.

In the West Coaster to Hobart there is Mika, a SO49i
