Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 40 used

Performance-oriented sailing defines this 2003 Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 40, currently available in Italy. This regatta version is engineered for speed, featuring an oversized aluminum mast, a rigid vang, and a lead bulb with torpedo configuration at a 2.45m draft. The deck layout is fully equipped with Harken hardware and a German-style mainsheet system, ensuring precise control for both regatta maneuvers and efficient cruising. The propulsion system is powered by a reliable Yanmar 40 HP engine with a Flex-o-Fold 3-blade propeller. Maintained annually, the engine received its most recent service and a new S-drive cuff in May 2024. Practical upgrades have been integrated, including 2024 solar panels, a 2023 engine battery, and an updated 2021 Raymarine radar suite to support safe navigation. Accommodation includes a functional two-cabin layout and one bathroom with a separate shower and electric toilet. Comfort on board is enhanced by a Webasto heating system, while the exterior remains well-appointed with teak decks and cockpit surfaces. The vessel comes with a dual sail inventory, comprising 2016 Dacron cruising sails and high-performance Kevlar Banks Sails for racing, complete with a carbon bowsprit and spinnaker equipment. This boat is currently in good internal and external condition, having been used exclusively for private cruising by its third owner. Recent maintenance in May 2024 also included hull polishing and fresh anti-fouling. This vessel is listed with an exclusive sales mandate, with VAT paid. Please note that the advertised price of 99.000 EUR does not include agency fees.
