The Grand Soleil 46. Is an elegant fast cruiser that followed the Grand Soleil 45. Even if, at first sight, this model designed by J&J Design Group looks like the previous one, it actually has more effective hull sections, especially in the front part where the bow is less overhanging. Although the 46.3 is only one foot longer than the previous model, the waterline is almost 4’ longer and the sail surface is larger, for an overall performance improvement. The 46.3 is also very versatile and easily adjustable to the different sailing styles. Interiors are make in mahogany or teak (both optional) that give a refined touch to the bulkheads and furniture. The layout was conceived to make on-board life more comfortable when moored, as well as while sailing, with a bow master cabin, a door-height galley, as well as a large table, and 2 starboard sofas in the saloon. Stern cabins mirror each other and are furnished with double beds, vertical cabinets, seats and shelves. There is an excellent ventilation thanks to the 6 doors and portholes all around the internal compartment. In short, the Grand Soleil 46.3 is a boat with elegant traditional lines, therefore it is very appreciated in the second-hand market.
