Built to be sailed fast — the Grand Soleil 52 Performance.
A legendary name returns: the 1987 original reimagined by naval architect Matteo Polli, with interiors by Nauta Design, built in vacuum-infused sandwich composite by Cantiere del Pardo. Powerful flared aft sections for control downwind, a fine vertical bow entry upwind, and maximum stiffness at minimum weight.
