The Jeanneau NC11 is a sport cruiser that offers massive living space with plenty of headroom through the two-cabin layout. For flexibility, the transom lounge slides fore and aft on rails to increase the size of the cockpit or the swim platform. Visibility is excellent, and three people can sit together facing the unbroken front windscreen pane. Its genuinely innovative design earned this powerful yacht the accolade of European Boat of the Year in 2011, and that makes it a top consideration for anyone considering a second-hand model.
