Performance-Cruiser built in 2011Fast, 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.
