Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 40 used

Performance-oriented cruising awaits with this 2001 Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 40. Spanning 11.99 meters with an overall length of 12.9 meters and a 3.76-meter beam, this vessel is designed for both competitive sailing and comfortable journeys. The boat is currently lying in Italy and features a 2.4-meter draft, offering stability and refined handling on the water. With its VAT paid status and Rina certificate valid until 2030, this used boat provides a secure entry into the classic Italian yachting experience. The vessel has undergone an extensive series of upgrades between 2022 and 2024 to ensure reliability and comfort. Recent maintenance includes a 2024 overhaul of the heat exchanger and starter motor, as well as the installation of a new Raymarine autopilot. Electrical systems are fully updated, featuring three new batteries from 2023, a new charger, new inverter, and new solar panels, all complemented by a full transition to LED lighting. The interior has been refreshed with new flooring, woodwork, taps, and upholstery completed in 2023. Rigging and sail inventory have received professional attention to support active sailing. Standing rigging, including shrouds, forestay, and backstay, was replaced in 2023. The configuration includes two headstay options—one with a Tuff Luff and one with a Harken roller furler—alongside a carbon fiber spinnaker pole. The sail wardrobe is comprehensive, containing multiple technical sails in carbon, kevlar, and PBO, in addition to cruising sails. Further exterior comfort is provided by a 2023 sprayhood, bimini, and custom shade cover. This 3-cabin, 2-bath configuration is ideally suited for sailors who prioritize technical performance without compromising on livability. The layout balances space for guests with the practical requirements of a dedicated offshore cruiser. Frequent annual maintenance, including regular hull servicing and engine checkups—with the latest antifouling applied in May 2025—underscores the owner's commitment to the boat's condition.
