The
design parameters, such as medium displacement, reduced wetted
area, greater waterline length, efficient sail plan and performance
orientated keel and rudder profiles are very similar to that
of thoroughbred racing yachts. However, in line with the Grand
Soleil philosophy, the interior and the fittings have been designed
and developed to encourage comfortable cruising.
The deck plan, while remaining neat and straightforward, has
been characterized by ergonomic principles, typical of racing
boats. The cockpit seats tend to open astern, leaving large
space both for main track and crew. The saloon entrance is placed
forward with respect to the coachroof aft end, giving room to
the halyards and spinnaker trimmers.
The boat is built on a female-mould with multiaxial glassfiber
fabrics, hand laminated with vinylesther resins for the first
coats.
As for the appendages, we adopted a blade rudder with high extension
ratio, and a lead keel for the racing version; this keel is
the result of the most recent hydrodynamic studies, which have
been carried out by the responsible of the aerodynamics department
of Ferrari Formula 1.
The interior is the result of the renewed collaboration with
Patrick Roséo, engaged since 1983 in the interior design
of the Grand Soleil boats. |
