The new Grand Soleil 40 has all the credentials to replicate the great success of the GS 44, winner of the last ORC World Championship. While maintaining the feeling of style, elegance and safety seen throughout the range. A fast and responsive boat that reflects its sporting personality in the perfor- mance on the water.
The new 40 foot boat, available in Performance and Race versions, once again bears the signature style of Matteo Polli, the designer capable of taking the Grand Soleil 44 ‘Essentia’ to victory in the last ORC World Championship, and Nauta Design, already re- sponsible for the external and internal design of the previous Grand Soleil models . The lines of the hull and the architecture of the GS 40 are created to ensure a strong performance, without sacrificing the advantage of space and comfort on board. The result of a partnership between Nauta Design (interior & external design) and the Ship- yard's Technical Office, delivers a boat with a clean and functional internal and exterior layout.
The winning performance is always at hand on the new GS 40. The deck plan of the Performance version includes 4 winches as standard: two on the coachroof and two next to the helm positions. The self-tacking jib, also as standard, is equipped with a recessed track, while the mainsheet is positioned to a fixed point in the cockpit.
The position of the mast which, as on the GS 44, has a retracted arrangement to maximize the "J" and therefore the base of the head sails. Also available in carbon in the Race version, together with an increased sail area compared to the standard version.
"We have found the right proportions to have a large and functional deck for both racing and cruising” - explains Massimo Gino of Nauta Design – “where all the lines and deck gear have been studied with the naval architect Matteo Polli and Cantiere del Pardo to find ergonomic positions and solutions, practical and functional for both uses. In a light and sleek hull, we were able to include all the necessary functions on a 40 foot boat that also offers comfort and
functionality in the interior. From the cabin to the owner's heads, from the galley to the dinette, the volumes, stowage and all functions are precise and well balanced. The rich and classic style is the one that has been well tested and appreciated aboard all Grand Soleil’s”.
