About the LOVE LOVE (JEANNEAU)
After 1979 an updated, raised deck version, was the BRIO.
The Jeanneau Love Love is a compact 21.7 ft masthead sloop designed by Philippe Harlé and built by Jeanneau between 1971 and 1978. With a displacement of 2650.0 lb and a beam of 8.0 ft, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry-level cruiser from the early 1970s.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing and light weekend cruising, appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, trailerable package. Its low displacement and modest beam make it ideal for owners with limited storage space who prioritize ease of handling over heavy-weather comfort.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2650.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.32, the Love Love is not recommended for extended bluewater passages, as its light hull and fin keel are optimized for coastal performance rather than offshore stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 22 and the Pearson Ensign, as they share similar dimensions, lightweight construction, and a focus on recreational coastal sailing. These vessels offer similar ease of single-handed operation and trailerability, making them direct competitors in the sub-22 ft market.
