Boat Details
Description
Grand Soleil 43 for sale. A sleek, elegant and fast performance cruiser, built by Cantiere del Pardo in Italy and designed by Botin & Carkeek Yacht design. She has proven her potential in IRC racing many times over, but remains a stiff and well behaved cruiser that can be handled by a small crew or double handed.
This model is the ‘open transom’ version with open stern, two steering positions and a folding swim platform. With only two owners from new, she is extensively equipped with teak decks everywhere, light oak interior, electric winches, retractable bow thruster, upgraded Volvo Penta D2-55 and Harken deck fittings. She had a new Sparcraft mast in 2019.
