Grand Soleil 40
Performance-Cruiser built in 2002Fast, elegant performance cruiser from the heyday of the IMS formula. The Grand Soleil 40 by Duck Design/Massimo Paperini was a very successful racer in the international regatta circus but she is also a comfortable, stiff cruising yacht that can be easily and safely managed by a small crew. The Grand Soleil 40 has a modern hull with sharp vertical bow, wide stern and narrow waterline. The 3 spreader racing mast ensures amazing performance. Spacious, ergonomic deck layout with german mainsheet system and all sheets and trim lines lead aft to the cockpit. Mahogany interior by Patrick Roseo with laminated floorboards.
This Grand Soleil 40 is a racing version with racing keel (draft: approx. 2,40 m), 3 spreader racing rig with standing rigging in rod as well as HARKEN racing deckgear (high-quality racing deck fittings). The hull is wrapped in light grey. 3 cabin layout with owner's cabin forward, two symmetric aft cabins and one heads compartment. Engine upgrade to YANMAR 40 hp. Nice, good looking yacht with light grey hull, black sripes and light grey trim on coachhouse sides.
