Performance-oriented cruising defines this 2001 Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 40, a well-regarded 12.9-meter sailboat now offered in good condition. Recent maintenance highlights the owner's commitment to quality, including a complete rigging overhaul in 2023 with replaced shrouds, forestay, and backstay. The sail inventory is comprehensive, featuring both technical racing sails in carbon, kevlar, and PBO, alongside dedicated cruising sails.
The interior and systems have undergone extensive modernization. In 2022, the galley was renewed, and the wood finishes and flooring were completely restored. Interior comfort is supported by a 2023 interior and exterior cushion refit, while technical reliability is bolstered by a 2024 engine service, including a rebuilt heat exchanger and starter motor. Power management is efficient thanks to new batteries, a battery charger, and solar panels installed in 2023.
Navigation and safety are current, featuring a 2024 Raymarine autopilot, a 2023 wind station with i70 display, and a new AIS unit. The deck layout includes a 2023 sprayhood and bimini combination, ensuring comfort during extended time on board. With the Rina certification valid until 2030 and a fresh hull treatment from May 2025, this boat is fully prepared for immediate use.
Designed for sailors who value responsive handling and a classic layout, this 3-cabin, 2-bath configuration is ideal for those seeking a proven performance cruiser. The vessel is located in Italy, and the asking price of 95.000 EUR includes VAT paid status.
