Boat description

The boat has been sold to the wonderful new owner.

I do maintain the web page as at tribute the the Jouet boats. Those great boats are out there. The refit list that I have done could be a guidance for anybody looking to upgrade an older boat.

The boat went major refit in 2010. All work has been done by professional boatyard. New epoxy bottom, standing rigging, running rigging, lifelines, new beautiful stove with oven and more see listing for details.

The French know how to build a great sailing boat. This boat is a brilliant design by Yves Marechal.

Jouet 950 is a popular European boat that is very well built and has a great reputation for its sailing capabilities all owners have only positive comments about her.

She is a fantastic sailing boat, fast, very well balanced, easily handled, and very well mannered maneuvering under engine. In heavy weather she is safe and comfortable. She offers 2 private staterooms with large double beds and two additional sleeping areas in the main cabin on the man sofa. The boat has plenty of storage, huge and comfortable cockpit and full size navigation table that many 40 feet boats cannot match. I believe it is the best sailing boat in its class.

We had many sailing trips on this boat most notably few trips to the Bahamas in one trip I went with 6 adults comfortably from Cape Canaveral in Florida to George Town in 3 weeks.  She is capable offshore cruiser in 2004 I have sailed offshore from Cape Canaveral in FL to Beaufort in NC in 11 days stopping in St Augustine FL and Charleston SC.

Our family of four has loved this boat and has especially enjoyed the roomy and comfortable cockpit and the privacy that the separate quarter cabins provide.  The layout provides comfort and privacy only found on larger boats while the overall size of the boat makes it more fun to sail, easier to handle and less expensive to operate.  We have been cruising North Carolina this summer. Our success with this boat is a large part of why we are now looking for a boat to move aboard and cruise full-time.

The boat is located in Beaufort, North Carolina, US
