Grand Soleil 43ot

Performance-Cruiser built in 2011

Fast, exclusive performance-cruiser built by Cantiere del Pardo in Italy. Sleek, elegant lines with low freeboard, steep bow and low coachhouse profile. The Grand Soleil 43 by Botin & Carkeek Yachtdesign has proven her potential in a whole series of high-class international regattas. Among others, this model has won the IRC1 classes of the Rolex Fastnet Race 2009 and 2011, Cowesweek 2010, Round the Island Race 2010 and Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta 2009. Despite her high potential as a racer, the Grand Soleil 43 is also a stiff and well-behaved cruiser that can easily be handled by a small crew.

This Grand Soleil 43 B&C is the "Open Transom-version" with open stern, two steering positions and a folding swim platform. Extensively equipped first hand owner's yacht. Special features are: Teak deck everywhere, light oak interior, SPARCRAFT 3 spreader racing mast with rod rig, exclusive sail inventory, electric winches, engine upgrade to VOLVO PENTA D2-55, retractable bowthruster and high-quality HARKEN deck fittings (racing deck gear).
