New Jeanneau Boats from the view point of an Authorised UK Dealership

In today’s blog we provide an update and brief look at the new 2021 range of boats that Jeanneau have launched. There are four new boats in their range of products offering new hull designs as well as interior and exterior innovation and comfort.

The title of this blog leans somewhat flippantly towards the saying, “Keeping up with the Joneses,” although as you will read below, the true meaning of this saying does not apply. In providing the information shown below we are assisting you, the boat owner, in keeping up to date with the latest products from industry leader, Jeanneau, and not with whatever boat your neighbour might own.

The phrase originates with the comic strip Keeping Up with the Joneses, created by Arthur R. "Pop" Momand in 1913. The strip ran until 1940 in The New York World and various other newspapers. The strip depicts the social climbing McGinis family, who struggle to "keep up" with their neighbours, the Joneses of the title. The Joneses were unseen characters throughout the strip's run, often spoken of but never shown.

Use of the name Jones for neighbours involved in social comparison predates Momand's comic strip. In 1879, English writer E. J. Simmons wrote in Memoirs of a Station Master (or Ernest Struggles) of the railroad station as a place for social exchange: “There is a considerable amount of importance attached to this public place of meeting—the railway station. The Jones’s [sic] who don’t associate with the Robinsons, meet there. Mr Jones would not like the station master to touch his cap to the Robinsons, and pass him without notice.”

What may not be quite as well known as the accepted meaning of this idiom is that there is now something called “The Jones Effect.” This means that people want to follow what is popular or trending today – or to have what other people have. It is a method to make people feel that they could be left behind or out of touch with what is trending, and so motivate them to make a purchase to keep up with everyone else.

A last interesting piece: Simmons’s qualifications for his first railway job included the ability to translate 50 lines of Ovid, speak French, carry a sack of beans, break a horse, and write a tolerable hand. A little different I suspect to today’s job specification for Station Master.
