> Grand Soleil Racing
The 2002 season was very
successful for Grand Soleil.
The Grand Soleil 44' Race and Grand Soleil 40' Race have dominated
the IMS Circuits winning the World, European and Italian
Championships.
The reason behind this important investment in
the racing area is the trust in benefits that can be transferred from
these racing boats to the legendary Grand Soleil fast-cruiser range.
At the project level, the sum of experience derived from the Race
range is directly transmitted for: hull hydrodynamics, appendices,
deck gear, simplicity and efficiency of maneuvering as well as
ultimate safety of hull and deck structure. In the meantime, great
results have been obtained in testing new techniques, structures and
materials.
