Great sun 45 - The fast cruiser signed Cantiere del Pardo

Launched in 1993 by the Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo, this great sunshine 45 embodies the brand's philosophy: a sailboat of great cruise with a sporty temperament, capable of chaining miles with real helm pleasure. Thirteen meters of well-proportioned hull, a development designed for life on board with family or teammates, and this reputation for holding the sea which made the name of the site.

A construction cut for the sea hull in polyester glass laminated (PRV), 13 m in length for 4 m of bau and 2.45 m of draft: water lines that favor speed and heading. The deck plan and rigging allow for reduced crew driving as in sustained navigation, with the form stability and stiffness expected of a bright sun.

Engine and life on boardThe Yanmar 4JH2E of 55 hp, diesel in transmission by shaft line, totals 4,022 hours. It provides a cruising speed of 7 knots for a consumption of about 3 l/h, with a peak at 11 knots; The 200 liters of diesel offer a comfortable autonomy for transits and approaches. Inside, three cabins and six beds accommodate up to 8 people on board, an ideal configuration for offshore cruises as well as for coastal regattas.

An opportunity to seize a used Grand Soleil 45, displayed at €94,000 including tax, remains a safe bet for those looking for a real cruise-race sailboat without compromise on comfort. Units of this caliber are trading quickly.
