The design was replaced in production in 2022 by the Jeanneau Yachts 65.[10]
Production
editThe design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2015 to 2021 with over 70 boats built, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][8][11][12][13][10]
Design
editThe 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 68,343 lb (31,000 kg) empty and carries 20,613 lb (9,350 kg) of cast iron ballast, while the shoal-draft version displaces 70,989 lb (32,200 kg) empty and carries 23,259 lb (10,550 kg) of cast iron ballast.[1][2][3][4]
The boat has a draft of 9.68 ft (2.95 m) with the standard keel and 7.22 ft (2.20 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2][3][4]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 180 hp (134 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 323 U.S. gallons (1,220 L; 269 imp gal), the fresh water tank has a capacity of 264 U.S. gallons (1,000 L; 220 imp gal) and the holding tank has a capacity of 69.7 U.S. gallons (264 L; 58.0 imp gal).[1][2][3][4]
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. gallons (360 L; 79.2 imp 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.[1][2][3][4]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 3,229 sq ft (300.0 m2).[1][2][3][4]
The design has a hull speed of 10.3 kn (19.1 km/h).[2][14]
Operational history
editThe boat is supported by a class club, the Jeanneau Owners Network.[15][16]
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."[9]
