In the 2020 model upgrade to the model range, the Jeanneau 51 Yacht gets an upgrade to include a bow sprit. The new offering from the Jeanneau factory allows for a more striking look but also allows the easier use of the Code 0 – this is because the kites are now set further from the forestay meaning less chance of contact when hurtling. Finally, the bowsprit also sets the anchor further forward, so less likely that the anchor will contact the hull on use.
So all together a positive addition to the model.
