About the GRAND SOLEIL 47
Shallow draft: 2.20m/7.22' Development of GRAND SOLEIL 46 (2010).
The Grand Soleil 47 is a performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Botin & Partners and built by Cantiere del Pardo, with production starting in 2015. While the exact total build count is not specified in the available data, this model represents a modern entry in the Grand Soleil lineup, characterized by its fractional sloop rig and fin keel.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and handling over heavy bluewater displacement, given its relatively light displacement of 24471.0 lb and high sail area-to-displacement ratio of 23.57.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.92 and a displacement of 24471.0 lb, the boat is capable of offshore passages but is better suited for protected coastal waters and short offshore trips rather than heavy-weather bluewater cruising due to its lighter build.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 47 and Hanse 470, as they share similar production eras (mid-2010s), fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on planing performance with moderate comfort ratios around 25.
