Used Jouët 1040 Sailboats for Sale

The Jouët 1040 stands as a notable example of French yacht design, blending comfortable cruising amenities with a surprising turn of speed for its era. Conceived by the prolific naval architect Yves Mareschal (sometimes spelled Marechal) and built by Yachting France, under the enduring Jouët brand, this masthead sloop was envisioned as a versatile cruiser capable of both coastal exploration and more ambitious voyages. Launched during a period of consolidation within the French boatbuilding industry, the 1040 aimed to offer sailors a robust and enjoyable platform that upheld Jouët's reputation for seaworthy vessels.
