New Model: Jeanneau 8 Leader

Jeanneau continues the upgrade of its Leader line up presenting its second model in the range which will compromise three all new models for the 2010 season. The new 8 will be the smallest of the Leaders measuring a tad five centimetres short of nine metres. Designed by Garroni who his work with Jeanneau has been much appreciated in the Prestige line, here he follows the upmarket brand of the Beneteau Group, with similar exterior lines but also the interior echoes the prime yacht range. Inside the 8 Leader has a comfortable four berth interior, offering a comfortable vee shaped saloon which converts to a double, and a door separated mid ship double cabin. The lower deck also has a fully equipped galley, and a shower head. The cockpit outside is also well laid out offering a C-shaped settee, a sun pad to port, and a double seated helm station to starboard. Power is two choices from Volvo offering a single petrol engine 5.7GXI 320hp, or a diesel D4 option of 260hp.
