The Jeanneau 51 is an evolution to Jeanneau 54. It possesses solid, hand-laid installation with a laminate schedule that includes two outer vinyl ester layers to stave off blistering. Bulkheads are mixed into the deck and hull structure through the use of polyurethane adhesives, while a formed structural grid works to further tame the rig and keel loads. Because the cored deck is built in a two-part injection mold, it not only boasts an optimal resin-glass ratio, but it also displays a nice smooth finish abovedeck and below. This sailing yacht offers smooth handling, a functional layout both on the exterior and interior and an unmatched level of quality, an attribute that has played a large part in this Jeanneau’s success.
