Grand Soleil GS 80 LC
About this yacht
The Grand Soleil GS 80 LC represents a significant achievement in bluewater cruising yacht design, combining the Italian shipyard's decades of expertise with modern construction techniques and thoughtful layout planning. At just under 24 meters, this performance cruiser delivers the comfort and capability expected of a flagship while remaining manageable for experienced sailors. Cantiere del Pardo developed this yacht in collaboration with naval architect Matteo Polli and Nauta Design, who handled both exterior styling and interior architecture. The result is a sailing yacht that balances long-distance capability with the refined aesthetics Grand Soleil has become known for since the success of the GS 65 and GS 72. Construction employs composite sandwich materials with vinylester and epoxy resins, processed through vacuum infusion lamination. Strategic carbon reinforcements in high-load areas create a hull that's both light and robust—essential qualities for extended offshore passages. The shipyard manages every phase of construction internally, from initial lamination through final launch, ensuring consistent quality throughout. The dual rudder configuration works in concert with a telescopic keel to provide precise control across varying conditions, from coastal sailing to ocean crossings. For owners with different preferences, a single rudder setup offers an alternative specification. The carbon mast and boom deliver the stiffness needed for performance while keeping weight aloft manageable, making this sailboat responsive even when short-handed. Below deck, Nauta Design created interiors that prioritize both comfort during extended voyages and efficient use of space. The raised saloon features panoramic windows that wrap 270 degrees around the main living area, flooding the space with natural light and maintaining visual connection with the sea. The standard layout includes four guest cabins plus two crew cabins, though owners can specify three guest cabins if preferred. The forward owner's suite positions the walk-around bed along the yacht's centerline, with a private ensuite bathroom at the bow. Guest accommodations can be configured as doubles, twins, or convertible Pullman berths depending on how the yacht will be used. At the stern, dedicated crew quarters include a twin cabin, fully equipped galley, and navigation station, all accessible without passing through guest areas. Material and finish options allow owners to personalize their yacht's interior character. The first hull features warm oak joinery complemented by premium textile upholstery, creating an environment that feels both contemporary and inviting after long days at sea. The Grand Soleil GS 80 LC is designed for sailors who understand that serious cruising requires both capability and comfort—a racer-cruiser that doesn't compromise either quality for the other.
