ASSOCIATES AT JFA YACHTS
Frédéric Jaouen – Co-founder and president of JFA Yachts
Frédéric Jaouen was born in Concarneau. The Glénan archipelago and the bay of Concarneau are his stamping ground. He has been sailing there since he was very young. In 1987 he took part in the Transat des Alizées aboard the 14m Copain d’Abord built by Le Guen Hémidy Marine shipyard at Carentan. There he met the owner of the shipyard and they forged a friendship through this professional adventure. This is how he first became involved in ship building in Normandy and where he met Frédéric Breuilly. When the shipyard in Normandy closed down, they decided to form JFA Yachts.
Brigitte Jaouen Guennec – Associate at JFA Yachts, manager finance and administration
Born in Concarneau like her brother Frédéric Jaouen, she studied languages in Angers, later integrating the ESCP with an option in communication and marketing. She spent the first part of her professional life in Paris. In July 1994 she spent her summer holidays in Concarneau and then decided to join JFA Yachts. An advocate of human values which she likes to share, she has been able to create a warm family atmosphere at the shipyard.
Michel Siou –Associate at JFA Yachts and project manager
His passion for the sea, travel, human relations, and of course for yachts has brought Michel Siou to join the ranks of boat builders. For a number of years he was a professional yacht captain notably aboard some of the most prestigious units in the MAREX fleet (CNB Yachts). He understood yachts as if he had built them himself….to say the least. Project manager at JFA Yachts, he is the preferred point of contact for the owners, their representatives and their captains.
Frédéric Breuilly – Co-founder & Associate – Now retired – Prviously Production Director
Cabinetmaker at Le Guen Hémidy Marine, his passion for wood became a mark of quality in boat interiors. His versatility, his desire to always do better and more refined work led him to join in the adventure of ship building with Frédéric Jaouen in Concarneau. He does not race on the water but prefers motor cycles and enjoys the speed of motocross circuits which he frequents in Europe and abroad.
The men and women of the design office and all the crafmen and women working in various studios at JFA Yachts, contribute to making our clients’ dreams a reality.
