Jeanneau Folie Douce

FOR SALE - FOLIE DOUCE FROM 1970

A character yacht, maintained with passion and regularly modernized

The elegance of a vintage sailboat, with equipment designed for navigating today.

I am offering for sale my Folie Douce from 1970, a characterful sailboat that has benefited over the years from major work and ongoing maintenance.

As a shipyard manager, I understand the importance of a well-maintained boat, its equipment, and the quality of work carried out. This sailboat has thus undergone regular investments to preserve its potential and improve its comfort and sailing capabilities.

Its Alexseal hull paint, optimized Selden rigging, navigation electronics, and recent equipment make it particularly interesting for lovers of classic sailboats.
