2023 Grand Soleil 42 LC

The Grand Soleil 42 LC is a cruising sailboat designed by Marco Lostuzzi in collaboration with Nauta Design. Built in 2023 by Cantiere del Pardo, she combines increased hull volume with a well-balanced sail plan engineered for stability and efficient passage-making. The single Volvo Penta diesel engine produces 60 horsepower, supporting cruising speeds around 8.6 knots and a maximum speed of 10.8 knots.

Below deck, the boat prioritizes comfort and liveability with two cabins and two heads. Large windows bring natural light throughout the interior, creating a bright and open atmosphere. Storage is positioned for practicality at sea, with circulation that works underway and finishes that balance elegance with durability for extended time aboard.

On deck, the layout emphasizes both handling ease and social space. Generous relaxation areas forward and aft function comfortably whether anchored or underway. The sailing plan is responsive yet manageable, offering the balance between control and performance that appeals to both experienced sailors and those planning extended cruises.

This 42-foot boat is built on a fiberglass hull and reflects the long-range cruising capabilities that define the Grand Soleil range. Every detail has been considered for extended voyages and blue-water sailing.
