Sailing Ratios

Classic yacht-design ratios worked out from the builder's published figures, each shown against the bands designers read it by.

Most builders publish a light displacement. The ratios were defined on a loaded boat, so every boat here reads a little lighter than a surveyor's figure would — all alike, which keeps them comparable.

Tanks

What the builder publishes about how fast, how strong and how much the boat carries.

Brochure

About Grand Soleil

Premium production

Italian builder of performance-oriented sailing yachts, established over 50 years ago, part of Cantiere del Pardo S.p.A.

The Grand Soleil Line is where the brand began, more than fifty years ago, and it remains its core: sailing yachts under 65 feet built by Cantiere del Pardo. What the yard calls its dual DNA is the refusal to make an owner choose between speed and comfort -- on one side a racing heart, pushing for hydrodynamics, sail plans that are powerful but manageable, and current construction; on the other the long-distance line, with the volume, range and stowage of a home at sea. The racing half is not a slogan: Grand Soleils have won the IMS and ORC world championships more than once, and raced the Fastnet, the Rolex Giraglia and the Middle Sea Race.
