GRAND SOLEIL 35 "POPPA LUNGA" : The Fusion of Italian Elegance and Long-Distance Cruising

Designed by naval architect Alain Jézéquel and crafted by the renowned Cantiere del Pardo shipyard, the Grand Soleil 35 embodies the golden age of Italian shipbuilding. It offers a perfect balance between sleek lines, exceptional build robustness, and outstanding sea behavior. Offered in its very rare "Poppa Lunga" version from 1985, built for only one year, this sailing yacht features an extended stern skirt that refines its silhouette while incorporating an ideal bathing platform for anchoring.

Meticulously prepared for long-distance voyages, this unit combines the warm charm of its teak interior woodwork with comprehensive and recent technical modernization. The entire vessel is supported by an exemplary maintenance history, demonstrating the constant care given to the boat.

At the core of its updates is a new 2024 Volvo Penta D1-30F engine with 475 hours, receiving meticulous servicing. Its cruising autonomy is ensured by a Katadyn 40E desalination unit, a stainless steel MPI arch with davits, a solar panel, a revised wind turbine, and a 200-liter fresh water tank.

Regarding navigation and safety, the vessel benefits from triple redundancy in autopilots, including an inboard ram on chain transmission, a helm wheel system, and a tiller autopilot. Its high-performance sail plan includes a North Sails 3Di Nordac main sail, a Crosscut Solent, and a Code D. Furthermore, the structure has been impeccably maintained, with all seacocks and valves replaced in 2024, the keel epoxy treatment in 2024, and recent anti-fouling performed in February 2026.

This Grand Soleil 35 presents a rare opportunity on the market: the character of a renowned classic sailing yacht combined with the technical peace of mind of a modern bluewater cruiser.
