Group Beneteau is to transfer its Four Winns twin hull outboard powercat range to its Jeanneau brand.
The decision comes three months after the launch of two new powercat models, the Four Winns TH33 and Four Winns TH38, which were presented at the Cannes Festival of Boating.
Four Winns entered the twin hull powercat market three years ago with the Four Winns TH36.
Now Jeanneau is to take on the models with the range consisting of the Jeanneau TH33 and Jeanneau TH38, with the Four Winns TH36 discontinued.
“We are proud to entrust the future of this innovative power catamaran range to our partners at Jeanneau,” said a statement from Four Winns.
Complementary ranges
“With over 70 years of experience and a strong, committed international dealer network, Jeanneau has all the capabilities required to guide the TH range toward new horizons and promising development.
“We extend our most sincere wishes for success to the new Jeanneau TH range and look forward to seeing its future flourish.”
Jeanneau has around 400 dealers worldwide and the move is set to provide them with a strengthened position as an outboard specialist with the complementary ranges of Cap Camarat, Merry Fisher and now TH.
Four Winns is set to refocus on its bowrider core business.
The Jeanneau TH models have been designed to meet the latest trends sought by today’s boaters – open, comfortable boats with functional layouts and inviting living spaces.
“Sailing, cruising, and living on a TH is a unique experience,” said Erik Stromberg, product strategy director, design centre.
“ Of course, a catamaran offers more space, but what truly makes the difference is its stability, both at anchor and underway.
“Moreover, its specially designed hull ensures easy planing while remaining perfectly stable, guaranteeing a sailing comfort unmatched by a monohull.”
