On Deck

This boat features a hi-lo platform which can be used to launch a tender. The tender garage is quite small but is practical for storing deck gear.

One intriguing feature is the cockpit's slideable molding which can be adjusted to increase deck space or bathing platform area as desired.

The Jeanneau NC14 has 'asymmetric decks', meaning that one side is wider to allow easier access to the bow.

Interior

The boat's galley-up layout is another feature is appreciated. Positioned close to the cockpit, it allows for convenient catering. The boat also has a 'wine cellar', which is a large storage area that can be used to store various items.

The helm has soft touch, dark material designed to prevent reflection on the windscreen. There is a joystick that allows for easy maneuvering of the boat.

The boat has a spacious owner's cabin, and it is noted that designers did not try to cram too much into a 45-foot boat. There are scissor beds in the owner's cabin can be split into two single beds, adding to the boat's practicality.

The yacht also has a guest cabin. One of the options of the boat is to have two toilet compartments, but in this particular model, the second toilet space is used as a utility area, a feature which is a nice touch.

Performance

The boat has an IPS drive, which gives it incredible maneuverability and is powered by a pair of Volvo Penta IPS-500 engines. These can give the boat a top speed of around 30 knots, with a cruising speed of 20 to 25 knots, giving a range of approximately 200 nautical miles.

In Summary

Nick explains that the NC in the boat's name stands for 'new concept', and with its practical and usable design, it certainly lives up to this name. The '14' refers to the boat's length in meters, roughly translating to 45 feet. Overall, he appears to be very impressed with the Jeanneau NC 14. He appreciates its practical and easy-to-use design, and believes that it lives up to its name as a 'new concept' in yachting.
