Grand Soleil yachts are Italian performance cruisers, combining cruising accommodation with rigs intended to deliver responsive sailing and efficient sail shapes. This makes accurate rig identification particularly important when planning replacement standing rigging or upgrading sail-handling systems. The model pages in this section provide indicative standing-rigging costs and, where data is available, recommendations for running rigging, furlers, kickers, winches, masts and booms. Different generations and performance options can use substantially different spar and rigging packages, while race-oriented boats may have been modified. Existing terminals, stay sizes, forestay equipment and mast details should therefore be checked before ordering.
Useful Grand Soleil rigging guides include: Grand Soleil 34, Grand Soleil 40, Grand Soleil 44, Grand Soleil 48, Grand Soleil 52 and Grand Soleil 42 LC. Open a model guide for indicative standing-rigging sizes, replacement costs and equipment recommendations.
