Grand Soleil 40 for sale

The 2005 Grand Soleil 40 is one of the most well-rounded and highly regarded models in the cruiser-racer segment. This high-performance Italian sailboat was built by Cantiere del Pardo, with an exterior design by Matteo Polli and an interior design by Nauta Design / Patrick Roseo. Highly valued for its balance between comfortable cruising and excellent performance in racing or sporty sailing, it is a vessel renowned for its outstanding handling, structural integrity, and high-quality finishes.
This particular 12-meter unit is equipped for both cruising and sporty sailing and racing, with a complete set of sails, excellent maintenance, and a recent refit of the electronics and engine, specifically the valve system. Ready to sail, the hull has been recently cleaned and treated with silicone antifouling. Equipped with a 40 HP Yanmar engine, a Gori steerable propeller, and a two-meter rudder, it is easy to maneuver at all times.
All the sails, rigging, lines, and sheets are in perfect condition, with all lines led back to the cockpit and easily accessible. The sail set is notable for its two mainsails, one made of Dacron and the other with Kevlar membranes (both nearly new). The genoa consists of three sails made of Dacron, Aramid, and Carbon fiber. There are two spinnakers: an asymmetric spinnaker measuring 110m² and a symmetric spinnaker measuring 120m², both from North Sails.
The practical and functional interior features a classic style with excellent, robust finishes and the fine woods typical of the brand. With three double cabins and two heads, it can accommodate up to eight people, with a dinette that converts into a double bed in the saloon area.
An ideal unit for those who value performance, mechanical reliability and a top-level inventory of sails, while maintaining the comfort and build quality characteristic of the Grand Soleil brand.
You can also rent the same mooring if you don't have space on the Costa Brava.
