Grand Soleil yachts are an icon of ‘Made in Italy’ style. With over 40 years of history, Grand Soleil has left its mark on a fundamental chapter in the history of modern sailing.
The festival will see the world premiere of the Grand Soleil 40 and 72 Performance.
The new Grand Soleil 40 Performance has all the credentials to replicate the success of the GS 44, well know in Ireland due to the success of GS 44 Samatom, owned by Mr Bob Rendell of Howth.
It maintains the style, elegance and safety seen throughout the range. A fast and responsive boat that reflects its sporting personality in its performance on the water. The GS40 will share most of the attributes of the GS 44, with both looking very similar.
As most Irish sailors will know, a previous GS 40 model has also been very successful. Nieulargo, GS 40, was the winner of the 2021 Dun Laoghaire to Dingle race.

Performance, design, innovation: the extensive construction experience of the shipyard is combined with the development of innovative solutions that place increasing emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency. The new GS 72 will represent the pinnacle and synthesis of GS’s shipbuilding experience. The aim: to launch a spacious boat to guarantee ample accommodation and comfort on board, while maintaining high levels of performance.
The new GS 40 and 72 Performance will sit alongside the 44 Performance, 42 Long Cruise and 52 Long Cruise, all staples in the Grand Soleil range.
Cannes Yachting Festival will be a unique opportunity to see a great selection from the Grand Soleil range. Definitely not one to miss!
