Review of NC 11

Basic specs.

The NC 11 also known as Jeanneau NC 11 is a motorboat designed by the Italian maritime architect bureau Garroni Design in the early 2010. The NC 11 is built by the French yard Jeanneau.

Here we would have liked to show you nice photos of the NC 11.

Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. A hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The hull shape is deep V. Generally, a deep V hull gives a more comfortable cruise because it helps the boat cut through waves while minimizing impacts, help the boat bank into turns, and throw less spray. However, a deep V hull reduces stability and requires more power.

Interior

The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 4-6 berths, a galley, 250 liters (66 US gallons, 54 imperial gallons) fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

Engine

The fuel tank has a capacity of 720 liters (190 US gallons, 158 imperial gallons).

The NC 11 has been equipped with different engine alternatives.

Alternative 1:

The boat may be equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta D3 220 DP diesel engines at 440 hp (327 kW).

The transmission is a Z-drive aka sterndrive.

Alternative 2:

NC 11 may be equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta D3 200 DP diesel engines at 400 hp (298 kW). Cruise speed is 22.0 knots. Max speed is 29.0 knots.

The transmission is a Z-drive aka sterndrive.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

EU classification

NC 11 holds two CE certifications:

If less than 10 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class B. OFFSHORE:

Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including, wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 4 m may be experienced.

If less than 10 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class C. INSHORE:

Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m may be experienced.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for NC 11 is about 279 kg/cm, alternatively 1564 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 279 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1564 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

L/B (Length Beam Ratio)

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

The l/b ratio for NC 11 is 2.82.

Compared with other similar motor boats it is more spacy than 85% of all other designs. It seems that the designer has chosen a significantly more spacy hull design.

Curiosities

Powerboat?

In Denmark, you are required to have achieved a 'powerboat driving license' in order to sail a powerboat.
In this context a boat is considered a powerboat if:

Danish definition of a powerboat

According to this definition this boat is categorized as a Powerboat.

Maintenance

Bottom Paint

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 38m² (409 ft²).
Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Note: If you use a paint roller you will need more paint than if you use a paintbrush.
