This 2019 Jeanneau 51 is a purpose-built bluewater cruiser with a three-cabin, two-head layout finished in Alpi Oak. The shoal draft of 5 feet 8 inches suits shallow-water cruising, while a Yanmar 4JH110CR diesel engine with shaft drive powers the boat. Total fuel capacity is 127 gallons, supplemented by an upgraded battery bank of 1,188 amp-hours AGM installed in 2023.
The sail plan includes in-mast furling mainsail and 110-percent genoa, paired with a 2024 North Sails Helix gennaker on a Facnor top-down furler for versatile wind conditions. Navigation and sailing instrumentation are handled by a full Raymarine electronics suite. Creature comforts include full air conditioning throughout all cabins, and an Onan generator for independent power generation.
The boat has been actively maintained. The engine and generator both received full service in October 2025. The house battery bank was upgraded in 2023. Bottom paint is current through 2026. The design, developed by naval architect Philippe Briand and designer Andrew Winch, emphasizes livable accommodations and handling ease, with attention to interior finishes and materials throughout.
