Expertly optimized for ORC performance, this 2013 Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 43 offers a rare blend of racing prowess and cruising comfort. With a hull length of 12.9 meters and an overall length of 13.25 meters, the yacht features significant weight-saving carbon components, including a RIBA carbon mast, carbon bowsprit, spinnaker pole, and a structural hull spider. The cockpit is tailored for precise handling with carbon helmsman footrests, while the mast jack ensures optimal tuning of the rod rigging.
The vessel boasts an impressive racing history, including a 1st place finish at the 2017 ORC Corinthian World Championship and the 2023 European Corinthian Championship. The comprehensive sail wardrobe is headlined by 2023 North Sails and 2025 DZ Sails, providing a competitive edge for any regatta circuit. Below deck, the layout remains practical for cruising with three cabins and two bathrooms.
Power is provided by a Volvo Penta 55 HP engine, which underwent a major service in 2025, including a new saildrive and seals. This used boat has been under the care of a single owner since new and remains in excellent condition. The VAT has been paid, simplifying the acquisition process for prospective buyers.
This Grand Soleil 43 is best suited for experienced sailors looking for a turn-key solution to compete at the highest ORC levels or those desiring a responsive, well-maintained performance yacht. Located in Italy, this vessel is available for inspection upon appointment.
