Grand Soleil 43 B&C for sale (2011) in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

A fast and elegant performance cruiser built by the Italian yard Cantiere del Pardo. The Grand Soleil 43 was designed by Botin & Carkeek Yacht Design and has proven her potential in a number of prestigious international regattas. Among other successes, this model won the IRC1 class at the following events: Rolex Fastnet Race 2009 and 2011, Cowes Week 2010, Round the Island Race 2010, Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta 2009. Despite her high potential as a racer, the Grand Soleil 43 is also a stiff and good-natured cruising yacht, easily and safely handled by a small crew while offering ample comfort for up to six passengers below decks. Beautiful, elegant, no-nonsense design with sleek lines and a low coachhouse profile.
