Single handed operation of the Jeanneau Yacht 57 By: Ian Van

I have spoke to lot's of clients and potential buyers who ask the same question. Can this yacht be handled by myself or shorthanded? I always answer yes the reasons are that when you get up to a vessel of 50ft or greater it actually becomes easier believe it or not. The reason for this is you start finding bow thrusters on 50+ yachts along with electric winches and in Jeanneau's case the way we order the yachts 53 + electric Genoa furler's. all of these options and with the new modern hull design make single handling a vessel of this size very easy. Actually I even find it easier to sail this 57 then my own Jeanneau 39i P.V. I hope that you find this video helpful in explaining what I'm trying to say and if you would like additional information on the Jeanneau product or are looking to buy or sell a yacht please feel free to contact me at any time day or night at 1-619-507-4416 or ianvt@cruisingyachts.net I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ian VT

You're cheating. I would like to see a video of you SAILING into the slip - a shared slip - with the owner of the boat you share the slip with watching your every move. No bow-thrusters, no electric furling main. (just giving you a hard time)

It is a very prudent idea to practice docking without the engine engaged. Start with easy access docks where there is little or no risk - fine tune your feel of the boat.

I admit to being a poor sailor having only limited time on any rigging almost at all to speak of. In less than 10 min. you've bosted my confidence greatly, it's amazing some of the equipment on these large sailboats! Thank you for your video.

Ian, I really enjoy all your presentations. You are very professional. Soon, I will be in the market for a larger yacht and I'll give you a call when I'm ready. Keep up the good work!
