Jeanneau Material Testing:


In-House Lab Confirms Build Quality

The Jeanneau factory test lab

All Jeanneau and Prestige yachts benefit from the continuous, intensive testing of the materials used in hull layup at the company's in-house lab. The process includes chemical, thermal, mechanical and hydro-static testing to make sure each component remains strong and waterproof throughout its life. Resins are also tested to ensure they mate perfectly with the vacuum-infusion process, which is used in most hulls and parts made for the company's lines.

State statistics will vary due to length of boating season and the number of participants in the sport.

See the state-by-state breakdown here.
