The Grand Soleil 40, a high-performance sailboat built in 2005 by Cantiere del Pardo, stands out as one of the best options in the cruising-racing segment. With a length of 11.99 meters, this model has been designed by the renowned Matteo Polli on the exterior, while the interior has been conceived by Nauta Design and Patrick Roseo. This balance between aesthetic design and functionality has made the Grand Soleil 40 highly appreciated among sailors, both for its comfortable cruising capability and its excellent performance in racing and sports sailing.

Located in the charming town of Roses, in the province of Girona, this pre-owned sailboat stands out for its exceptional maintenance condition. The unit has been equipped to meet both cruising and water sports demands. With a complete sail inventory and a recent refit of its electronics and engine, specifically in the valve system, this Grand Soleil 40 is ready to set sail at any moment. Its hull has been recently cleaned and treated with silicone antifouling, ensuring effective protection against marine growth.

Regarding its propulsion, the boat features a Yanmar engine with 40 HP, accompanied by a Gori folding propeller and a two-meter rudder blade, which facilitates maneuverability in all conditions. All the sail rigging, standing rigging, lines, and sheets are in perfect condition, with all maneuvers conveniently led back to the cockpit, allowing for easy and quick access during sailing.

The sail inventory is one of the strong points of this unit. With two mainsails, one made of Dacron and the other with Kevlar membranes, both in almost new condition, the Grand Soleil 40 adapts to various wind conditions. Additionally, the genoa includes three sails made of Dacron, Aramid, and carbon fiber, ensuring optimal performance. For those who enjoy sailing, two spinnakers are included: an asymmetrical one of 110 m² and a symmetrical one of 120 m², both manufactured by North Sails, further expanding the sailing and racing possibilities.

The interior of the Grand Soleil 40 does not disappoint. With a classic style reflecting the brand's quality, the use of fine woods and robust finishes ensures a cozy and functional atmosphere. This unit features three double cabins and two heads, comfortably accommodating up to eight people. The dinette, which transforms into a double bed, adds versatility to the space, ideal for sharing moments at sea or in port.

For those who value the combination of performance, mechanical reliability, and a top-tier sail inventory, the Grand Soleil 40 presents itself as an unbeatable option. Its solid construction and attention to detail in the finishes make this vessel one of the most outstanding in its category. Additionally, there is the possibility of renting a berth in Roses, an aspect to consider for those seeking a spot on the beautiful Costa Brava, known for its crystal-clear waters and spectacular landscapes.

The ideal buyer profile for the Grand Soleil 40 is someone looking for a vessel that combines the fun of sports sailing with the comfort of cruising. Whether an experienced sailor looking to compete in races or a family wishing to enjoy weekend getaways, this sailboat perfectly adapts to various needs, providing an exceptional sailing experience.
