Grand Soleil 52 LC - 17.00m Sailing yacht

Grand Soleil 52 LC Overview

The Long Cruise series of the Italian Grand Soleil was launched in 2015 with the 46LC model. In 2017, the next model in the range - Grand Soleil 52 LC - made its debut at Cannes. A version of the LC Sport was presented in 2019.

Exterior and interior design.

Marco Lostuzzi and Nauta Design are responsible for the development of the range. The classic cockpit rims are connected to a modern clean deck, where straight lines and smooth surfaces prevail. The rigging-free cockpit with optional gypsum frame looks spacious. For privacy, an additional lounge with awning at the mast will be suitable. Inside is also a classic: the galley is on the right at the entrance, while the dining area is almost the entire length of the cabin on the left. There is little natural light in the cabin - there is only one hatch in the pillowcase.

Amenities on board

The only option available in the layout is a forward cabin for the captain. Much more noticeable is the difference between LC Sport-version, where there is no table and frame in the cockpit, but the area of sails is increased by 14 sq.m. There are three fridges, an optional desalter, air conditioners and a dinghy garage aft. All berths are over 2 meters long and the cabins are very spacious.

Features

Grand Soleil cruisers tread carefully in a new segment for itself, without risking to integrate all the new fashion chips. All the better for her. In long-range cruising, the owner of the 52 LC will appreciate the space on board, the ease of organization and management and the performance of the classic hull bypasses.

Swimming area

The very name of the series calls for a journey. It is recommended to immediately choose the optional 110 hp engine and 425l fuel tank (instead of 80l/s and 300l), and a ton of water comes as standard.
