About Grand Soleil 40:

If you are looking to buy or charter a thouroughbred racing yacht, the likelihood is  you will find that the boat has a medium displacement, reduced wetted area, greater waterline length, efficient sail plan and performance orientated keel and rudder. However, the likelihood is you would not expect to find it on series production model such as Grand Soleil 40.  On top of these features and in line with the Cantiere del Pardo philosophy, the interior and the fittings have been designed and developed to encourage comfortable cruising as well as racing.

The interior
The interior is the result of the renewed collaboration with Patrick Roséo, engaged since 1983 in the interior design of the Grand Soleil boats. Up to four layouts are offered to satisfy at the most all requirements. The deck fittings are supplied by Harken, hatches and portholes by Lewmar and Goiot, while the mast, rigging and halyards by Sparcraft. Engine is by Volvo Penta.

Deck Plan
The deck plan, while remaining neat and straightforward, has been characterized by ergonomic principles, typical of racing boats. The cockpit seats tend to open astern, leaving large space both for main track and crew. The saloon entrance is placed forward with respect to the coachroof aft end, giving room to the halyards and spinnaker trimmers.  The boat is built on a female-mould with multiaxial glassfiber fabrics, hand laminated with vinylesther resins for the first coats.

As for the appendages, we adopted a blade rudder with high extension ratio, and a lead keel for the racing version; this keel is the result of the most recent hydrodynamic studies, which have been carried out by the responsible of the aerodynamics department of Ferrari Formula 1.
