Interior

The boat is equipped with 4 cabins and 930.0 liter fresh water capacity.

Rig

The Jeanneau 58 is built with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Keel

L-shape fin keel

The Jeanneau 58 is built with a L keel. An L-shape keel is a bulb keel with the shape as an L. This keel is less exposed to seaweed, fishing nets and lines.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.50 - 2.60 meter (8.20 - 8.50 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

Jeanneau 58 may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta D3-150 diesel engine at 150 hp (111 kW).

The fuel tank has a capacity of 420.0 liters (110 US gallons, 92 imperial gallons).

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.

Stability and Safety

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Jeanneau 58 is 1.81, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

EU classification

Jeanneau 58 holds three CE certifications:

If less than 13 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class A. OCEAN:

Designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights of 4 m and above but excluding abnormal conditions, and vessels largely self-sufficient.

If less than 14 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 16 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 Jeanneau 58 is about 595 kg/cm, alternatively 3335 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 595 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 3335 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
