There is no such thing........per say......

Jeaneau was owned by "Bangor Punta" back in the late 70's to mid 80's, a corporation that went bankrupt in the mid to late 80's. Do you have a link to a particular boat, so some of us that recognize boats from that era can tell you the actual model that it might be. My Arcadia is from that time frame, Attalia, Brin de Folie, were from that span too. A bit later, Sun Way, or Sun dream models.

According to Wikipedia, the BP corporate history was "


Two businesses listed on the New York Stock Exchange have used 'Bangor' in their names. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, which operated between 1891 and 2003 was founded by local capitalists and originally had its offices in Bangor. In 1964 it merged with the Boston-owned but Cuba-based Punta Alegre Sugar Corp., forming Bangor Punta Alegre Sugar or after 1967 just Bangor Punta. On the advice of BP Director and former president of the B&A Curtis Hutchins, the railroad was sold in 1969, but Bangor Punta, managed by Hungarian-American financier Nicolas Salgo (who also built the Watergate complex in Washington), and with Bangorean Hutchins still on the board, became a classic 1960s conglomerate, accumulating such diverse holdings as the arms-maker Smith and Wesson, Piper Aircraft, and a number of yacht-makers. It was on the Fortune 500 List for most of its existence. Salgo was bought out in 1974 and the corporation dissolved in 1984

Malcolm,

Jeanneau was part of the "some yacht makers", As was other US manufactures that have bit the dust in the mid 80's, Ranger, Cal, and O'Day among others. I'm recalling another brand or two too!

He sent me some pics, appears to be a Ron Holland designed "Rush". r possibly a Cal 9.2 that was a Rush design but built in Florida. But if t says Jeanneau on it, more than likely a Rush vs the Cal 9.2.

Hi Marty

Agree

Lots more info at:

www.angelfire.com/tn/santana525/cal92/cal92.html

(this has been in our website list for a long while)

Jeanneau produced the models in France from 1980 until 1984

Could be this one is an import, hence the Jeanneau badges

Malcolm,

Here is a link to pics he has taken,
s334.photobucket.com/albums/m440/atlantissalvage/For%20Sale%2030%20Sailboat/

I found a brochure at the main Jeanneau.fr site, along with a brochure at the dutch site that has been posted here a few times too. I had the Cal9.2 site book marked, or at least knew about it, and sent those links to him.

SO hopefully the info sent will let him decide to buy or not. I would swag it would be listed as a Cal if it was built over here, and a Jeanneau if imported. Boat appears to be in Florida of all places. Locally I now of a cal9.2 the owner likes a lot.

He was going to get the Hull Number, I would assume that would verify if it was an import vs built here? Do you have the de-coding for that?

Hi Marty

Not sure, depend if the HIN (or equivalent) at that time had anything obvious re country of origin

If it has jeanneau logos I am almost certain it will be an import

Whilst it is rather straying off topic, the "wayback machine" has some old links to data that some guys assembled as a dummy "original" Bangor punta website

web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.bangorpunta.com

That was a real agglomeration of a conglomerate ;D
