It's killing me! What kind of boat is on the cover of the 2014 Defender Catalog? Clearly a large sailboat with a "transom locker" but I can't figure out what it is???

Anyone here know?

I've not seen any Morris's that have a transom like that? Perhaps there are different Catalog covers? This boat is White and looks very much like a Jeanneau with the "double waterline" but the "Transom Hatch" is what throws me off? There even appears to be a VHF Remote INSIDE the hatch?

opps that not the one i was thinking of hadn't got that one yet.....

Jeanneau 57

It's a Jeanneau 57, with a nice little transom garage!

The double lines etc. it certainly looks like a Jeanneau, I thought it looked more like a 469... I could be very wrong!

Whatever it is, it is fairly large. Compare the guy standing at the stern to the height off the water. At least 6' of freeboard at the transom.

HEY! (you been talking to my wife?):naughty:

Caboteur · Feb 12, 2014

I prefer smaller boats... I can single-hand them, anchor in tighter spots and afford it!

zeehag · Feb 12, 2014

i am still fine with mine, thankyou.....

kloudie1 · Feb 12, 2014

MAN.. If it weren't for "Income Inequality" I could have one!.. I guess I will continue to be satisfied with my little old 34.

Salty · Feb 12, 2014

I am satisfied with my boat but hell I want that that one. Why not? I am greedy.

They are very popular as bareboats down here right now. I can't say we like their lines, but they do look like they would sail well. Unfortunately, we've never seen one under sail; they seem to motor them everywhere????
But 600k for a bareboat? Perhaps they have several quality levels?

The boat on the 2014 Defender catalog cover is a Jeanneau 57

The tall dude with the shades is Paul Fenn, President of Jeanneau America.
The picture was taken by photographer Billy Black.

So, I can't tell if you like the cover or if you just want that boat

Anyone interested in submitting a shot that they think would go well on the cover for next year?? If so, I can tell you what the cover selection committee looks for. Contact me.

Stephan, does your website have an archive page of past and present covers? I used to get the catalog but don't anymore. Not ordering enough to justify your mailing cost of the catalog. But I would love to look at the images.

And... I like a good challenge. Think I will contact you for input on the cover requirements.
