Jeanneau Brio

The Jeanneau Brio is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Philippe Harlé as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1979.

The Brio is a development of the 1971 Jeanneau Love Love, incorporating a new raised deck design.

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1979, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Brio is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or stub keel and retractable centerboard. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a truncated double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin around a table. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin, with a single burner stove to port and a sink to starboard.
