Cantiere Del Pardo Grand Soleil 40 - 2005

If instead of a boat it were an hourglass, we could tilt it horizontally: for the Grand Soleil 40 the time never seems to pass. This 11.99 metre long boat represents a well-targeted choice both for those who mainly aim speed, both for those who make comfort on board the most important thing.

If instead of a boat it were an hourglass, we could tilt it horizontally: for the Grand Soleil 40 the time never seems to pass. This 11.99 metre long boat represents a well-targeted choice both for those who mainly aim speed, both for those who make comfort on board the most important thing. After all, we are talking about a sailing yacht that over the years has won many regattas in its class in the Mediterranean Sea. Performance, therefore, is the best business card of Grand Soleil 40, but it does not steal the show to the elegance of a boat of great appeal and proven functionality and comfort. Ideal for long cruises, this famous model of Duck Design draws maximum comfort from the spaces layout. The deckhouse represents the right compromise to internally guarantee sufficient volumes of space without sacrifice the aesthetics of the external lines. The large sprayhood protects from the sun and water that may come when sailing in rough seas. The large awning gives shade during the hottest days of the Mediterranean summer. The cockpit has generous dimensions, especially in width. The transom, conceived in a way essential, offers a good walkable floor. The teak deck gives charm and beauty to this fantastic boat. Once you have passed the entrance, you will immediately notice a refined atmosphere below deck and, as in all Grand Soleil, the interior design has an excellent quality level. The furnishings are made with quality materials and, as the traditional style of Cantieri del Pardo, most of the upholstery is in wood. The folding dinette guarantees additional space in the living room, eventually for two more guests to sleep. The bow cabin with bathroom, toilet and shower offers a welcoming space: the bed is confortable and wide. Even the aft cabin, thanks to the large double bed, guarantees comfort only a boat of larger size can offer. Aft, next to the comfortable kitchen there is the second bathroom with shower. The boat is equipped with Webasto heating in all internal areas, with a fresh water maker and boiler for hot water. This yacht mounts a 40 HP Yanmar engine with Saildrive and a folding blade propeller which does allow the boat to reach a cruising speed of about 7 knots. The sail plan is very generous, thanks to the oversized mast that offers excellent performance even with little wind. Rent this fantastic sailing yacht during the high season for 350€ for the half day, 550€ for one day and 3500€ for the week!!!
