Grand Soleil 43 J&J

Yacht built in 1998

With the models Grand Soleil 37, Grand Soleil 43 and Grand Soleil 46.3 designed by the Jakopin brothers (J&J Design), the Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo achieved great success in the mid-1990s. The modern, sporty concept packed in a classic, elegant design hit the nerve of the time. In particular, the sleek hull lines with the overhanging bow and the flowing, negative yacht stern give the Grand Soleil sailing yachts from this era a characteristic, unmistakable appearance. The Grand Soleil 43 J&J offers this aesthetic in a handy, easily manageable size. In a generous saloon, three spacious cabins and two heads compartments, there is ample living space for a crew of up to six.

This Grand Soleil 43 is a neat owner's yacht. The hull is painted in AWLGrip dark blue and shows no traces of fading or chalking. Special features are the optional interior in Burma teak, the upgraded YANMAR 56 hp inboard diesel and the higher performance rig with in-mast furling system. The yacht has both air conditioning in the owner's cabin and EBERSPÄCHER diesel heating for the entire yacht.
