Launched in 2018, this contemporary performance cruiser from Italian builder Cantiere Del Pardo represents Marco Lostuzzi's vision of balancing speed with comfort for serious sailing enthusiasts. The Grand Soleil 52 LC showcases modern design principles with its fin keel featuring a bulb for enhanced stability and reduced draft, paired with a spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling characteristics. With a displacement of 37,258 pounds and sail area of 1,603 square feet, this fractional sloop demonstrates impressive performance credentials. The SA/Displacement ratio of 23.1 places it firmly in performance cruiser territory, offering exhilarating sailing without sacrificing the comfort needed for extended passages. The hull's 55.94-foot overall length and generous 16.08-foot beam provide spacious accommodations while maintaining sleek lines that slice through water efficiently. The design excels in both coastal and offshore environments, making it equally suited for spirited day sailing and long-distance cruising. Its comfort ratio of 27.92 suggests a relatively stiff, performance-oriented platform that won't pound excessively in moderate seas, while the capsize screening value of 1.93 indicates good offshore capability. The 75-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering and charging systems during extended cruising.
