JPK 39 FC
The JPK 39 FC is a cruising yacht built by a racing boat builder. It combines the best features of lightweight, planing racers and displacement cruisers. The result? An ultra-fast, versatile yacht that performs well in all conditions, is ergonomic, safe and comfortable, and was named European Yacht of the Year 2022.
A cruising yacht built by a racing shipyard
The 39 FC is a cruising yacht built by a racing yard.
It is a combination of light, planing racers and travelling yachts with displacement. The result? An ultra-fast and versatile yacht in all conditions, ergonomic, safe, and comfortable, with light living quarters.
Its many qualities were rewarded with the "Sailboat of the Year 2022" award and the "European Yacht of the Year 2022" award a few months after its launch.
The JPK 39 FC is an evolution of its predecessor, the JPK 38 FC, which was highly acclaimed by all its owners. It retains all of its great qualities. The hull's power has been increased by larger bow sections, and a reverse roof line modernizes the aesthetics and allows for more interior space (possibility of a 3-cabin version).
It is difficult to make a bad boat by taking as a base the JPK 38 FC which was already an excellent boat... the JPK 39 FC is really a JPK 38 FC +++. New generation hull, aggressive design, ideal ergonomics, well cared fittings ... each position, each detail takes advantage of all the experiences learnt on the 38 FC and the 45 FC to finally propose a really enjoyable boat!
A fast and versatile sailboat
The 39 FC has a wide, powerful hull, but with bow sections that are deep enough to cut through the waves and a hull depth that can handle the extra weight of a voyage. The result is a stable, forgiving boat capable of very high average speeds in all conditions.
The weight estimate is the key factor on which the architect bases the boat's design. The aim is to achieve a hull that is sufficiently tense to quickly exceed hull speed (surf speed) without dragging water, even under load, in order to remain fast in light winds, when sailing close-hauled, but also when sailing downwind. Twenty years of experience in infusion on our racing models allows us to be very precise on this determining factor; the hull, deck, and interior structural elements are built like those of a racing sailboat.
In addition to being fast and versatile in all conditions, the 39 FC has an optimized construction with reinforced stress zones for total safety.
The deck and cockpit have been designed with optimum ergonomics in mind, with deckware sized to facilitate short-handed sailing.
It's hard to beat its already famous predecessor, and yet ... the redesign of the JPK 38 FC turned out to be a particularly challenging exercise! With its modern, sporty and timeless design, the JPK 39 turns heads while remaining simple and ultra-efficient. Ergonomics, looks, performance ... function and form are one.
Lifting keel option
Three keel options are available on the JPK 39 FC. The standard 2.15m keel is also available in a short version (1.80m) and a lifting version, which allows the draft to be reduced from 2.70m to 1.30m, so that the boat can be anchored closer to the shore.
Ergonomic chart table
Inspired by years of experience on our offshore racing yachts, the chart table is designed to be usable in all conditions, with an ergonomic layout and a curved watch seat.
Comfortable and bright facilities
Thanks to the new inverted roof design, the interior spaces are larger and illuminated by panoramic portholes. The overall effect is warm and bright, with all the comforts necessary for cruising.
Convertible table option
The saloon table can be lowered to add an extra double berth, simply by adding two cushions stored on the forward cabin sides.
Starboard aft cabin: utility room or double cabin.
