2023 Grand Soleil 42 LC

The Grand Soleil 42 Long Cruise is a cruising sailboat developed through collaboration between naval architect Marco Lostuzzi, Nauta Design, and Cantiere del Pardo. Its increased hull volume delivers exceptional stability, while the well-proportioned sail plan provides strong performance under canvas. Designed for extended offshore passages, this yacht prioritizes autonomy, comfort, and manageable handling.

The two-cabin layout is oriented toward long-distance cruising. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, while thoughtful design choices throughout the accommodations create a spacious, airy environment. The overall configuration supports operation by a small crew without compromising on volume or livability.

The boat is powered by a single 60-horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine, delivering a cruising speed of 8 knots and a maximum speed of 18 knots. Built from fiberglass, the 42-foot yacht measures 13.7 feet across the beam and represents a modern approach to blue-water cruising, emphasizing functionality, straightforward systems, and practical seamanship.
