Grand Soleil 46LC Boat Reviews

Overview

Sensible design around the cockpit which allows guests to enjoy the sail without having to participate in the sailing. While she is called the 46 LC for Long Cruise this is a refined, fast and elegant yacht that would hold her own in the cruising division of any regatta. If you want a serious cruising yacht with all the modern comforts plus decent fuel capacity giving you options then this yacht is it. But she is also a wonderful sail boat and a pleasure to sail both off the breeze and upwind. The Grand Soleil 46LC is a potential dream boat for many people in my opinion, and in this video Andrew and I discover the sailing abilities along with a deep dive into the interior layout and features of this Italian masterpiece. This won't suit everyone because she's in the higher price and quality range but if you have a big dream then this could very well be it.
