Very exciting day for me today, as I received the first printed copy of my history of Jeanneau!  I researched and wrote this during the first lockdown, I was lucky to gain the support from Jeanneau themselves and the Jeanneau family, as well as the amazing Robert Rigaudeau, who started as an apprentice age 14 and rose to become head of their design office. The book is in French (of course) and English and contains lots of previously unpublished photos from the past and the early years of the business. The book will be available shortly on the Jeanneau Boutique website for around €15.00. I will post a link when that is live. I hope those who buy it will find it of interest. Malcolm |

Possibly, At the moment I only have one copy. I was collecting more from France in January, but of course they have now closed their borders for Brits! Will update when I have more in stock.

I do not think you should be scared from someone stilling the book - as only actual Jeanneau fens will buy it e.g. you can start selling it for example on e-bay or directly with paypal payments which will include a hard copy and pdf version and deliver the pdf version now and the hard copy later when you get it...
