This Grand Soleil 44 is a beautiful cruiser racer; it offers a high standard of sailing incorporating carbon Sparcraft mast, spinnaker pole and rod rigging giving the Grand Soleil 44 an excellent sailing quality. The Grand Soleil 44 has a 9/10 fractional mast; non-overlapping jibs; spinnakers; and with a lead keel, means that there is plenty of power aloft, while the weight remains down low, giving a low centre-of-gravity and good sailing characteristics.

On the inside the Grand Soleil 44 manages a high level of comfort on top of its great sailing ability. It offers simplicity with effectiveness, yet maintaining chic Italian style. The Grand Soleil 44 comes with two cabins as standard allowing more space for crew sleeping on board. The main saloon is kept open and clear, offering an excellent space for entertaining with comfortable seating around a large dining table.

The Grand Soleil 44 was designed by the Dutch designers Rolf E. Vrolijk and Fietje Judel based in Bremerhaven in Germany. They were chief designers for the America's Cup team Alinghi. Judel/Vrolijk has designed TP-52 and Vendée Globe award winning designs as well.
