Kuvaus:

We are not talking here about experiences conjured up in the imagination by means of words and fictitious atmospheres; rather, it is a question of directly observing, experiencing first-hand, perhaps under heavy sea conditions, or when for others the knots might be too few for planing on the waves. Launched in 2005, as the first product of the collaboration with the Botin&Carkeek design team, the Grand Soleil has translated the intentions which inspired it into concrete results, by immediately coming to dominate the most important IRC and IMS circuits, with victories in the Italian, European, Spanish IMS Championships and podium placements in SPI OUEST e COWES WEEK in IRC. NOT ONLY RACING When cruising, the Grand Soleil fulfills the second part of its promise, proving that performance and speed can be attained without sacrificing the comfort and livability of a yacht. The reduced surface area, wedge shape of the bow, maximum beam carried aft, and careful distribution of the volumes make the Grand Soleil particularly easy to control, even with a short crew, thereby assuring sailing enjoyment, speed and stability at the same time.
