This Grand Soleil 43 has been lightly used and always professionally maintained. She has all the inventory necessary for both competitive IRC racing and comfortable cruising.
Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:
· At Cantiere del Pardo, maximum priority is given to the question of safety and structural strength.
· The galvanized steel grid, which is attached to the hull with a metal/acrylic chemical bond, and further reinforced with a multiaxial cloth, provides stiffness and strength unheard of in laminated hull structures.
· The one piece grid structure is designed to uniformly distribute keel, mast and chain plate loads. This has the added advantage of lowering the C of G of the yacht and also improving the stiffness of the hull, thus providing the owner with superior sailing characteristics.
· The B and C Grand Soleil 43 has been extremely successful; sister ships have won both the Fastnet overall twice, the RORC IRC National Championships and Cowes week.
