Preface
This manual has been conceived by Cantiere Del Pardo to provide the owner of the Grand
Soleil 45’ with an instrument that allows him to perfectly know his yacht and then better appreciate
its qualities, exploiting entirely its technical power.
Obviously, this manual cannot replace the fundamental knowledge and sophisticated
seamanship required to sail and keep in perfect working order a yacht of the same class as the
Grand Soleil 45’.
It goes without saying that the user of such a yacht as the Grand Soleil 45’ should have
gained the necessary experience, which a manual can neither substitute nor complete.
We strongly recommend the user to follow very carefully all advices and warnings provided
by the Builder in this manual, so as to be able to take full advantage of the yacht’s performance, in
full safety.
The Grand Soleil 45’ is a yacht built first of all with the aim to guarantee the best possible
performances while sailing. It is the result of a great effort made by Cantiere del Pardo to build an
extremely pleasant and comfortable boat, selecting very carefully the most qualified systems and
equipment, to obtain a very innovative product.
In addition to all technical data provided by the yacht’s manual,
we recommend you to
read carefully all attached manufacturers’ manuals and booklets about the various
components and equipment installed on the yacht
. Therefore, please consult all available
information provided for a correct use and maintenance of the various systems and components.
This manual includes information and advices about most of the equipment which can be
installed on the boat, regardless of whether it is standard or optional.
Therefore, only the list in
force at the moment when you buy the yacht will tell which equipment or components are
standard and which ones are optional.
Cantiere del Pardo reserves the right to modify or change the type and position of any
equipment, accessories and design described in this manual, completely at its discretion.
We recommend the user not to take anything for granted, but to always consult this manual
before carrying out any intervention which is not routine boat steering or maintenance.
We remind the user that the yacht is delivered with the optimal structures and in the optimal
conditions for people and things safety. All modifications must be carefully studied and calculated
in order not to jeopardize the yacht’s integrity.
