OVERVIEW overview

A FAST HULL Avant-garde technologies have been used to develop the Grand Soleil 48 hull lines: CFD fluid dynamics analysis has been used for all the structures – more than a month’s work and 120 hull simulations were needed to arrive at the final hull and appendages design. FEM analysis of all structural parts was done in order to better study the loads and weight distribution. The result? A boat characterized by speed, lightness and stiffness. Le linee di carena son studiate nei minimi dettagli utilizzando tecniche d’avanguardia per la realizzazione del progetto quali l’analisi fluidodinamica...

HARMONIOUS LINES, POWERFUL PERFORMANCE GS 48 PERFORMANCE

PERFORMANCE A POWERFUL SAIL PLAN The sail plan has undergone exhaustive VPP speed simulation programs analysis. The outcome is a powerful but easy handling sail plan, with all control lines lead back to the cockpit. Il piano velico è stato lungamente studiato con programmi di simulazione della velocità VPP. Il risultato è un piano velico potente ma facilmente gestibile; inoltre per facilitare il controllo, nella versione performance, tutte le manovre sono rinviate in pozzetto. TOP CONSTRUCTION First-class materials and techniques have been used for this important project. All the bulkheads are...

FOR THOSE WHO GO BEYOND LIMITS 48

COMPETITION AT ITS FINEST In the Race version, thanks to the fully equipped and well-positioned deck, competing has never been so exciting. The interiors follow the same philosophy: the boat becomes lighter and the sails can occupy many wide spaces without damaging the furniture. La versione Race del Grand Soleil 48 ha un’anima assolutamente competitiva. Presenta un piano di coperta ottimizzato per un utilizzo Race, una costruzione rigida e leggera e interni con mobili alleggeriti per ridurre il peso della barca e liberare gli spazi interni. • Cutting-edge technologies and carefully selected...

DESIGNED FOR RACE EVEN IN ITS DETAILS 1 Race bowsprit is 90 cm longer than Performance one. / La delfiniera nella versione Race è più lunga di 90 cm rispetto a quella Performance. The 6 winches Race deck layout. / La coperta Race è armata con sei winch. Sail plans are calculated through VPP. / Piano velico studiato con simulazione della velocità VPP. Transverse jib tracks are also available on Race version, allowing pure performance upwind angles. / Nella versione Race si può richiedere la rotaia del fiocco trasversale per una più precisa regolazione della vela di prua. Carbon mast and boom as...

LUXURIOUS SPACES FOR EVERY NEED Below deck spaces have generous beam and headroom resulting in spacious and comfortable interiors. Plenty of natural light illuminates the interior through several hull and deck portholes. Gli spazi sottocoperta godono di un generoso baglio e bordo libero che regalano ampi e comodi interni: a renderli ancora più confortevoli è la notevole luminosità naturale che entra attraverso le varie finestrature a scafo e sulla coperta.

THE PERFECT BALANCE Below deck, three cabins and two heads, both with separated shower stall – a fantastic solution for a boat with a racing soul. All the interiors are made with high quality materials in accordance with Grand Soleil’s unique style: in the Race version, the lightweight interiors allow a 30-40% weight reduction. Sottocoperta trovano spazio tre cabine e due bagni entrambi con box doccia separato (una soluzione unica a bordo di uno scafo che ha un’anima anche Race). Tutti gli interni sono realizzati con materiali di qualità secondo l’inconfondibile stile Grand Soleil: nella versione...
