2021 Meta JPB 52

The Meta JPB 52 is a 2021 aluminum sailing yacht designed by Jean-Pierre Brouns, built with Strongall construction. The hull features cork granule insulation applied by spray injection. Power comes from two Nanni N 4.65 diesel engines rated at 65 hp each, with 603 operating hours. The boat measures 51.5 feet in length with a 16-foot beam and carries an integral centerboard configuration.

The layout comprises three cabins. The aft cabin features a large central double berth with two side bunks and includes a desk unit. Forward, the port cabin contains a double bed while the starboard cabin has two bunks. Additional spaces include a workshop, laundry area in the aft port corner, and extensive storage throughout. The saloon features panoramic windows elevated to port with leather seating and slatted frames in all cabins.

Deck equipment is comprehensive. A two-tier carbon mast with fixed rigging supports sails including a full-batten mainsail, genoa on roller furler, and staysail on roller furler, all from X-Voiles with Hydranet material. A tilting steering wheel system operates in three positions. Two primary electric Andersen 62 winches and two Andersen 52 electric winches handle sail management. An electric windlass (Lofrans Falkon 24V) assists deck operations, and a rigid structure supports the cockpit bimini and roof canopy. An aft davit system lifts the tender, with survival raft storage on the transom.

Electronics and systems include an NKE autopilot with dual drive options (hydraulic and mechanical), NKE navigation display, JRC radar with mast-mounted radome, Icom AIS transponder, dual-station VHF, and Sailor Fleet One satellite telephone with internet. Power management features a Victron 80-amp 24V charger, 24/800V inverter, solar panels (both fixed and flexible), and a Superwind wind generator. Accommodation systems include an Eberspacher heater, 12V water maker, front-loading refrigerator, freezer, and washing machine. Water tanks are rigid (black water: 2x40L; gray water: 2x120L). A six-person life raft meeting ISO 9650-1 is included.
