CALICO JACK

## CALICO JACK — Jeanneau, 2024 Fresh from the Jeanneau yard in 2024, CALICO JACK is a 14.42m (47ft) sailing yacht working the Greek islands — a size that suits those waters exactly. Short enough to slip into the small harbours of the Cyclades or the Ionian where larger yachts have to anchor off, and rigged to make proper use of the meltemi rather than motor through it. ### Accommodation Five cabins for eleven guests, each with its own en-suite facilities — an unusually generous layout for a yacht of this length. Four cabins are arranged with a double bed; a further cabin forward takes a single berth. The practical result is a boat that absorbs a large family or a group of friends without anyone drawing the short straw on privacy, and without the shared-heads compromise that normally comes with this configuration. ### Life aboard The appeal here is the sailing itself. On a yacht of this scale you feel the passage rather than watch it go by: the heel as the sails fill leaving harbour, lunch at anchor in a bay reached under canvas, a swim off the stern before the afternoon breeze builds. It is island-hopping at a pace that lets you actually see the islands. ### Crew and service CALICO JACK is offered with crew, so guests are free to sail as actively — or as little — as they wish. The crew handle the boat, the provisioning and the daily itinerary, adapting the route to the wind and to what you feel like doing that morning. Local knowledge of the Greek archipelago is where a crewed charter earns its keep: knowing which anchorage is sheltered when the meltemi turns, and which taverna is worth the tender ride ashore.
