Description
Sail Performance
The Grand Soleil 39 blends Italian design finesse with impressive offshore sailing performance. With a sail area/displacement ratio of 15.4, she delivers lively performance in light winds. In heavier conditions, her ballast/displacement ratio of 41% ensures stiffness and exceptional stability, giving her steady resistance to heeling and a confident, balanced feel under sail. Her displacement/length ratio of 242.1 classifies her as a medium-displacement cruiser—ideal for sailors seeking the perfect harmony between speed and comfort. The Grand Soleil 39’s hull speed of 8.5 knots is easily attainable, and with a fair wind, she often exceeds it. Whether cruising short-handed or racing around the buoys, this boat offers rewarding performance on every point of sail.
Interior Comfort
Step below deck and you’ll find a timeless interior that reflects the very best of traditional Italian craftsmanship. The cabin is richly finished in solid teak with high-gloss varnish, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The layout follows the proven offshore configuration:
- A private forward V-berth with an ensuite head
- A spacious main salon with U-shaped seating for comfortable dining and doubles as sea berths
- A well-appointed galley to port
- A dedicated navigation station to starboard, larger than those found on most modern yachts
Headroom throughout the salon exceeds 6'3", adding to the sense of space and comfort typically reserved for larger boats. Every detail reflects a yacht designed not only for weekend sailing but also for serious passage making.
Summary
The Grand Soleil 39 stands as a modern classic—a yacht that marries elegance, craftsmanship, and performance. For sailors who appreciate aesthetic beauty, upwind efficiency, and offshore capability, this boat delivers a rare combination of style and substance. Even today, she can hold her own—and often outpace—many newer designs.
