2020 Grand Soleil 44 Performance

Since its launch, the Grand Soleil 44 Performance has turned heads both on the race course and the marinas/anchorages. The design is strikingly beautiful and her performance as a race boat under both ORC and IRC has seen her top the podium as some of the most competitive regattas across the world, both around the cans and racing offshore

This particular model, "Samatom", is specified to hit the race course immediately and has been maintained to a very high standard.
