Jeanneau Yachts 64

The Jeanneau Yachts 64, also called the Jeanneau 64, is a French sailboat that was designed as a blue water cruiser. The hull was designed by Philippe Briand, the interior by Andrew Winch, with finishing by the Jeanneau Design Office. It was first built in 2015.

The design was replaced in production in 2022 by the Jeanneau Yachts 65.

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2015 to 2021 with over 70 boats built, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Jeanneau Yachts 64 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The primary construction uses a vacuum infused vinylester-balsa sandwich. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, three sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with discontinuous Dyform rigging. The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom with a fold-down tailgate-style swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed L-shaped fin keel with a weighted bulb, or optional shoal-draft keel. Features include a stern dinghy garage and the mainsheet mounted on a fiberglass arch. The fin keel model displaces 68343 lb empty and carries 20613 lb of cast iron ballast, while the shoal-draft version displaces 70989 lb empty and carries 23259 lb of cast iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 9.68 ft with the standard keel and 7.22 ft with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 180 hp for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 323 u.s.gal, the fresh water tank has a capacity of 264 u.s.gal and the holding tank has a capacity of 69.7 u.s.gal.

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double island berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and two aft cabins, one with a double berth on the starboard side and one with two singles to port. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a stove, a 95.1 u.s.gal refrigerator/freezer and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are three heads, one just forward of the bow cabin and two aft.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 3229 sqft.

The design has a hull speed of 10.3 kn.

Operational history
The boat is supported by a class club, the Jeanneau Owners Network.

In a 2015 review for Yachting World, Belinda Bird wrote, "here is a yacht guaranteed to surprise. Packed within this 64ft 1in hull, the latest from Jeanneau, are a multitude of qualities that will make you question your preconceptions about the brand. The French production builder has married the world of big-boat luxury and comfort with production boat functionality and pricing to create a new market."
