Defined by its performance heritage, this 1988 Cantiere del Pardo Grand Soleil 52 is a significant example of Italian naval engineering. Currently held by its second owner since 2009, this version is specifically configured for performance sailing, equipped with two grinders and a deep 3.1-meter draft. Measuring 17.05 meters overall, the yacht offers a spacious layout with three cabins and two bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 12 people for coastal or offshore sailing.
The vessel has undergone substantial technical maintenance in recent years to maintain its operational integrity. In 2018, the engine was fully removed and overhauled to zero hours, the 220v electrical system was renewed, and new compressors and an electric windlass were installed. Further critical upgrades include new rod rigging fitted in 2019 and the installation of custom stainless steel water and fuel tanks in 2022.
Prospective buyers should note that the teak decking on the coachroof and in the cockpit requires replacement, providing an opportunity to customize the deck finish to personal preference. The hull is constructed with a combination of cast iron and lead for the keel, ensuring stability under sail. The price for this vessel has been recently reduced and includes VAT (IVA Pagata).
This Cantiere del Pardo is suited for experienced sailors who prioritize structural and mechanical upgrades over aesthetic deck condition. With its robust mechanical foundation and performance-oriented rig, it remains a capable platform for those seeking a classic, high-performance cruising yacht. Please note that a brokerage fee of 5% plus 22% VAT (calculated on the fee amount) is payable by the buyer.
