The spirit of racing

Cantiere del Pardo is a leading producer of Racing boats. Their yachts compete in some of the most difficult and competitive regattas, steered by some of the most famous professionals in the world. The Racing boats are fitted with innovative skills and high-tech solutions which are then transferred (sometimes with readjustments) to the boats in the Performance range. The successful characteristics of Grand Soleil Racing boats – today designed by Marcelino Botin and Shaun Carkeek (the top talented designers of contemporary sailing) – represent the best guarantee to ensure superior execution, even on the models in the Performance range. Over the years the Grand Soleil Racing boats have attained an impressive number of victories all over the world. They have sailed to victory with helmsmen who need no introduction: Schümann, Pepponnet, Vascotto, Calafat, Chieffi, Bressani and Benussi.
