Grand Soleil 43

Grand Soleil 43 is a beautiful performance cruiser with a timeless design. This model is well-equipped with a retractable bow thruster, a large sail wardrobe, Efoy, and safety equipment such as a newly packed life raft (2022).

Winter stored in a heated hall since 2017 in Ramsmora Ljusterö, previously in a cold hall at Bullandö.

The boat has a new jib from North Sails and a mainsail from Elvström 2019. Both sails were only used for approximately 4 weeks this season. In addition, there are 2 spinnakers (code 0 and 1), a furling gennaker, and the original mainsail and jib. The boat also has a retractable bow thruster and brand new electronics/navigation from 2018.
