About the GRAND SOLEIL 35 (JEZEQUEL)

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Grand Soleil 35 is a performance-oriented cruising sloop designed by Alain Jezequel and built by Cantiere del Pardo, with production records indicating a build year of 1981. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in the available data, this model represents a distinct era of Italian yacht building characterized by sleek lines and efficient sail plans.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and handling over heavy displacement comfort, making it ideal for those who enjoy active sailing in moderate conditions.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 12125.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.01, the Grand Soleil 35 is primarily designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making, though its fin keel and moderate draft of 5.9 ft allow for access to varied anchorages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the O'Day 36, as they share similar masthead sloop rigs and target the same market of sailors seeking a balance between racing capability and cruising amenities.
