Grand Soleil 43 B&C

Performance-Cruiser built in 2011

Fast, elegant performance cruiser by Cantiere del Pardo from Italy. The Grand Soleil 43 by Botin & Carkeek Yachtdesign has proven her potential in a number of high class international regattas. This model has won IRC1 classifications in the following events: Rolex Fastnet Race 2009 and 2011, Cowesweek 2010, Round the Island Race 2010, Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta 2009, etc. Despite her high potential as a racer, the Grand Soleil 43 is also a stiff and easy to sail cruiser that can be easily and safely controlled by a small crew and provides ample comfort for a crew of up to six below deck.
This Grand Soleil 43 B&C is an exceptionally well-maintained, little-used and extensively equipped owner's ship. New price of the yacht (delivered in May 2011): Euro 460.000,00 incl. VAT. Complete specification incl. 3 spreader performance mast with rod rig, teak deck everywhere, light oak interior, exclusive and overcomplete sailing gear, electric winches, engine upgrade to VOLVO PENTA D2-55 (55 hp/40 KW diesel), bow thruster and the high quality fittings from HARKEN (Racing Deck-Gear). In 2020, the battery bank was converted to six lithium batteries, so that there is now endless power on board.
