Photo Yves RONZIERThe JNP 12 is fast and stable downwind: her fairly wide transom, long waterline length and twin rudders make her easy to control at all times while ensuring excellent speed, combined with an attractive weight/power ratio : 6.7 tons displacement to 93 m2 sail area.



JNP 12 Lifting keel version
When the keel is in its lifted position, the JNP 12 draws 1.20 m, and can therefore access shallow creeks or go exploring on rivers. It can also be easily beached on its keel and two telescopic legs, which are integrated in the hull. The hull itself does not come into contact with the bottom while beaching, thus avoiding the risk of damage, and careening is made easy.
The JNP 12’s beaching system is also useful for transportation by road. Placed on a flatbed, the boat can be transported from one location to another at a reasonable cost, as its width does not require a road escort.


J NP 12 Lifting keel version
What sets the classic performance-oriented hull of the JNP 12 apart is its appendages. The 2.5 ton keel can be partially lifted by hydraulic ram. Drawing 2.80 metres when fully down, the keel provides righting moment and lift, both required for good upwind performance. This is particularly important when cruising. The twin rudders provide great downwind stability. They do not touch the ground when the boat is beached.
