The Jeanneau Captain is a French trailerable sailboat and powerboat that was first built in 1968.[1][2][3]
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1968, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][5]
Design
The Captain was sold as a pure power boat with a wheelhouse added, as a sailboat or as an auxiliary sailboat, with an inboard motor.[1][2]
The Captain is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. As a sailboat it has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 1,102 lb (500 kg) and carries 265 lb (120 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.27 ft (1.30 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.64 ft (0.50 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The boat is optionally fitted with a French Renault inboard engine. The fuel tank holds 9 U.S. gallons (34 L; 7.5 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.52 kn (10.22 km/h).[2]
