Boat on Defender Catalog Cover 2014

[Jackdaw]

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.

Paul's a good guy.

We ran in to him and his family when they were chartering a Jeanneau 50 in the Apostle Islands a year or so ago.

Past years - the archive of covers COOL IDEA

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.

No Brian, past covers are not archived on the website anywhere, but that is a very neat idea. I'll see what desktop publishing dept. can do about that. Maybe tomorrow.....

I see you contacted me. Will be right there...

This one just anchored in front of us so I snapped this pic of the stern opening for those who are interested. Very convenient, except for getting the liferaft out in rough conditions. Also, notice, no carbon fiber wheels on this one!
