Introduction
The present manual has been conceived by Cantiere del
Pardo, to provide the user of the Grand Soleil 43' with useful
information on the on board systems of the yacht and to allow our
customers to utilize the 43' to its full potential in the greatest safety.
This manual, obviously, can not replace the fundamental
knowledge, experience and seamanship required to sail a yacht in
the same class as the Grand Soleil 43'. The user of such a yacht
should have acquired through direct experience or through the
hiring of a professional crew the necessary skill to safely operate the
vessel which can not be provided by a manual.
We strongly recommend the user to read carefully the
information provided and follow all the recommendations that the
Builder has included in this booklet: they will allow him to take full
advantage of the yacht’s performance in the greatest safety.
The Grand Soleil 43' is the result of a great effort by the
Cantiere del Pardo to build an extremely comfortable and safe yacht
utilizing the best materials, components and systems available,
integrating them to create a very innovative yacht.
In addition to reading all the technical data provided in this
owner’s manual we recommend a careful reading of all the
manufacturers manuals and booklets of the various components
installed on the yacht. Reference must be made to these for all
maintenance and use of the equipment.
Cantiere del Pardo reserves the right to modify the type and
position of any equipment and accessories entirely at its discretion.
Owners must always consult this manual before undertaking
any work which is not routine maintenance.
