It is raining twine in Cannes. The spring press conference, Jeanneau on the verge of the international boat test event ( direct to the video ), is the scene of a scoop, a surprise for the press. Antoine Chancelier, Marketing Director at the French boatyard for the sailboat division, announces the boat project Sun Loft to the numerous journalists in front of a dramatic background of a violent spring storm.
This is a so-called "monocat". This is usually understood as a variant of a multi-hull boat, which starts in the bow area as a monohull construction and ends aft like a catamaran with two hulls.
Strategic assignment for Philippe Briand
The French shipyard Philippe Briand has commissioned the strategic project Sun Loft . Jeanneau still can not elicit details. Insiders of the boat press suspect the new project may have been inspired by the Dufour Atoll 43. Introduced in 1998 and sold at only 40 units with plenty of habitat in the broad Pilothouse, however, is a monohull. But it had also been drawn by Philippe Briand.

Long-time Jeanneau boss Jean-Paul Chapeleau and the developer present the concept together for the first time on April 25 during the International Multihull Boat Show in the southern French La Grande-Motte.
