Jeanneau NC 11

For many years there were four major series in Jeanneau's motorboat segment: Cap Camarat, Leader, Merry Fisher and Prestige. The latter was separated from Jeanneau and is now run as an independent brand. As a "replacement", the shipyard has been offering the NC series since the beginning of 2010 - NC stands for "New Concept". It is immediately apparent that this really is a new type of boat, and this was duly honoured with the "Powerboat of the Year" award.

The design has been fundamentally changed, and the layout with the saloon driving position and sunroof as well as the cabin roof that extends far aft over the cockpit are reminiscent of Scandinavian boats. However, the NC 11 is not only at home in northern Europe, but also in the south with its practical sunroof and the corresponding equipment package. It makes sense that the "southern package" includes air conditioning and the northern version includes heating.

We tested the 10.85 m long NC 11 extensively on the Elbe near Hamburg; our boat was motorised with two Volvo Penta D3-200 diesel inboards, each with 190 HP or 140 kW and duoprop drives. The maximum speed was 32.8 knots.

You can find the full test with all the measurement results and a detailed evaluation in the May issue of BOOTE, which will be published tomorrow (27 April).
