On Display: The Grand Soleil Line-up
We’ll have three Grand Soleil yachts on display, giving you the chance to get onboard and see what sets these Italian-built yachts apart:
Grand Soleil 34
Compact, fast, and full of spirit, the Grand Soleil 34 is a modern take on the classic club racer. Designed by Matteo Polli, this 34-footer offers a lightweight, performance-driven hull combined with thoughtful cruising features. With twin rudders, a powerful sail plan, and a sleek, minimalist interior, the GS34 is perfect for sailors who want an exciting, responsive boat without sacrificing comfort below deck. Whether you’re racing around the buoys or heading out for a weekend escape, this yacht delivers pure sailing pleasure in a manageable package.
Grand Soleil 40
The Grand Soleil 40 is the ultimate all-rounder – fast enough for serious racing yet refined enough for extended cruising. Designed to offer versatility, this yacht strikes a perfect balance between speed, style, and comfort. The hull design and rig setup allow for impressive upwind performance, while the interior is crafted with the elegance and attention to detail Grand Soleil is known for. Spacious cabins, a well-appointed galley, and smart storage make it an ideal choice for sailors who want to do it all – from offshore regattas to relaxed family holidays on the water.
Grand Soleil 46LC
If you’re dreaming of bluewater passages or extended coastal cruising in true comfort, the Grand Soleil 46 LC is your yacht. Part of the acclaimed Long Cruise range, the 46 LC combines traditional Grand Soleil performance with a focus on liveability and ease of handling. Features like a protected cockpit, raised saloon with panoramic windows, generous stowage, and spacious sleeping quarters make this a serious passage-maker. It’s built for sailors who want to explore far and wide without compromising on luxury, seaworthiness, or Italian design.
