2002 Grand Soleil 40

Built by Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo, this 2002 Grand Soleil 40 combines clean design with solid construction across a fiberglass hull measuring 40 feet long. The boat delivers balanced performance under sail, moving smoothly through the water with good stability and responsive handling suitable for both leisurely cruising and more active sailing. Power comes from a single 40 hp Yammer diesel engine, with cruising speeds around 7 knots and a maximum of 8 knots.

The deck layout prioritizes function and comfort, offering an open cockpit with organized line and sheet placement, paired with generous space for socializing. The interior is bright and airy, with Italian design evident throughout. Accommodation includes one cabin and one head, along with a well-equipped galley suitable for extended time aboard.

The boat combines the practical qualities needed for family cruising with enough performance character to reward active sailors looking for responsive sailing characteristics and pointing ability.
