Cantiere del Pardo at Genoa and Cannes boat shows with new GS 42LC and Pardo 38

Good start to the beginning of the nautical calendar for Cantiere del Pardo. The shipyard, indeed, will join the end-of-summer boat shows to introduce two new models: the GS42 LC and the Pardo 38. Both models will be unveiled at Cannes Yachting Festival in the evenings of September 10th and 11th.

Grand Soleil 42 LC

Cantiere del Pardo has given birth to the Grand Soleil 42 LC, a boat designed for medium-range comfortable cruising.

Designed in collaboration with Marco Lostuzzi, the hull of the boat is intended to guarantee extraordinary stability thanks to its special design and to a well-proportionate sail plan that is designed to offer the best comfort at sea without sacrificing the high-performance sailing standards.

Two winches on each side (electric as an option) are located near the steering position in order to guarantee increased comfort and easier handling when cruising, even with a reduced crew. The in-mast furling system for the mainsail and the self-tacking jib with recessed tracks simplify the control of the boat. The wide side-decks take you from aft to bow with ease, the coach roof area forward of the mast providing a great place to lounge on the sunbeds.

The boat has an overall length of 13.85 meters and a waterline length of 12.95 meters. The new GS 42LC will be available in two versions: one equipped with a rollbar to free the deck from mainsail manoeuvres and with seating options to stern of the wheelhouse, and the other without a rollbar, with an improved sail plan and no stern seating.

The interiors will also offer two versions, respectively with two or three cabins, served in both cases by two bathrooms. Both the galley and the salon convey luxury and comfort, as befits a true Long Cruiser.

Pardo 38

Cantiere del Pardo is about to introduce its third motor-powered boat. Under the Pardo Yachts brand, in fact, it has already built the Pardo 43 in 2017 and the Pardo 50 in 2018.

Pardo 38 is 11.90 meters long and 3.6 meters wide. The new model of Pardo Yachts’ line is characterized by a deep V-hull that guarantees excellent maneuverability and seaworthiness standards.

Pardo 38 has a linear design. The deck extends on one single level, replicating a highly appreciated characteristic of the previous models. In line with the attention to detail and style that has always characterized Pardo Yachts, the shipyard offers many customization possibilities in terms of colour, fabric and upholstery options.

A carbon-fiber T-Top covers the steering console and integrates a pop-up bimini to shade the dinner table that can accommodates up to 6 guests.

Interiors are spacious and bright, ceilings are high and cabins are wide, elegantly furnished and decorated with fine wood details.

Cantiere Del Pardo at the boat shows

The whole Pardo Yacht’s range will be on display at Genoa International Boat Show and Cannes Yachting Festival with the Pardo 50, the Pardo 43 and the the world premiere of the Pardo 38.

In Cannes, in addition to its world premiere, Cantiere del Pardo will also exhibit the Grand Soleil 46LC, the GS 48, the GS 58 and the flagship of the range: the GS 80 Custom that we had the opportunity to sea trial in world premiere.

In Genoa, instead, visitors can admire the GS 46LC, GS 42LC, GS 48 and GS 58.

Where?

This year, the Cannes Yachting Festival will include two locations.

Port Canto will host sailboats ( Grand Soleil at booth Sail 162) while Port Vieux ( Pardo at booth QSP155) will host motorboats.

In Genoa, instead, Grand Soleil will be present at quay B3 while Pardo Yachts at quay E.
