2004 Grand Soleil 45 J&V

Exclusive, well-built and fast performance-cruiser with beautiful lines built by the Italian quality yard Cantiere del Pardo. Her low freeboard, sleek coach house profile and clean, uncluttered decks make the Grand Soleil 45 J/V a truly spectacular eye-catcher. Paying tribute to her modern, elegant no nonsense-design, the German sailing magazine YACHT dubbed her the “Beauty of the Year” in their test report. With the models drawn by German design office judel/vrolijk & co., the Italian yard began installing a galvanised steel frame as strongback to absorb the loads of rig, mast step and keel, resulting in an exceptionally stiff, torsion-free structure. Despite her superior sailing performance, the Grand Soleil 45 J&V is a well behaved, easy cruising yacht that can be safely handled by a small crew. Three-cabin layout with two heads, mahogany interior and laminated cabin floor boards.This Grand Soleil 45 J&V is a well-maintained and fully equipped owner’s yacht in the standard 3 cabin-layout. SPARCRAFT performance mast with three sets of spreaders and L-shaped performance lead keel (draught approx. 2,30 m). This is the version with folding swim platform. The yacht was moved from the Mediterranean to the Baltic Sea in 2013 and has since been yard-maintained and continuously serviced by professionals. Numerous upgrades and replacement investments since 2015. Among others, the bottom paint was completely removed and rebuilt in 2022, a retractable bow thruster was installed in 2021, the standing rigging was replaced in 2024 and the yacht received new sails in 2022. The Grand Soleil 45 is currently stored ashore in indoor winter storage and can be inspected at any time upon appointment.  Rig/SailsDeck-stepped, 9/10 fractional SPARCRAFT performance mastThree sets of aft swept spreadersStanding rigging new in 2024Mast collar new in 2022Hydraulic backstay tensionerFACNOR headsail furling systemFull batten mainsail JAN-Segel DCX triradial approx. 54 m² (new 2022) with two reefsHARKEN track and car system for mainsailLazy jacks and lazy bagFurling genoa JAN-Segel DCX triradial approx. 57 m² (new 2022) with UV-protectionGennaker LEE-Sails approx. 130 m² (new 2015)Gennaker gearDeckTeak deck on running decks, coachroof and in cockpitFolding swim platform with swim ladder and hot/cold stern showerLarge self-draining anchor lockerElectric anchor windlass QUICK below decksMooring gear: Stainless steel DELTA-anchor 16 kg and 50 m stainless steel anchor chain 8 mmStainless steel bow protection (new 2024)HARKEN genoa winches 56.2STCHARKEN coachroof winches 46.2STCHARKEN genoa tracks with line-adjustable sheeting carsStainless steel console at helm for chart plotterCockpit lockers beneath cockpit benchesCockpit lockers beneath helmsman seatsSprayhoodCockpit coverRemovable carbon fibre cockpit tableSpring cleatsStainless steel chafing protection rails on hull sidesOutboard bracket on puchpitHot/cold stern showerInterior/Layout3 cabin-layout with two heads and mahogany interiorSaloon with U-shaped dinette around the large folding saloon table to port and settee to starboardChart table with forward-facing navigator’s seat aft to starboardL-shaped galley aft to port- Worktop in white Corian- Gas stove (new 2023)- Electric remote switch for gas valve- Double sink- Manual seawater foot pump- Electric cool box- Additional refrigerator- Generous storage in cupboards, lockers and drawersOwner’s cabin with central double berth (mattress new 2023, slatted base new 2022), settees, locker, shelves along hull sides, and large, easily accessible storage compartment beneath the berthEn-suite owner’s heads with separate shower and toilet to starboardTwo symmetrical aft cabins, each with double berth (slatted bases new 2022), locker, shelf, two opening portlights, and deck hatchSecond heads compartment aft to starboardAccess hatches to storage spaces in floor boardsTechnical EquipmentYANMAR 4JH4E four-cylinder inboard diesel 54 hp/40 kW (engine-upgrade)Engine hours (as of August 2025): Approx. 1.550 hSaildrive with three-blade folding propeller Flex-o-FoldStainless steel diesel tank approx. 230 lRetractable bow thruster SIDEPOWER SPSR100/185T (new 2021) with separate battery230 V shore power connection with charging cable230 V and 12 V USB sockets below deckBattery charger 12 V/60 A3 gel service batteries 12 V/100 Ah (new 2023)AGM starter battery 12 V/95 Ah (new 2023)Inverter 12 V/230 V/2.000 WDiesel heating WEBASTO AirTop 5000 (new 2016)Hot water boiler 25 lStainless steel holding tank approx. 45 l (new 2021)LED navigation lightsLED interior lightingNavigation/ElectronicsRAYMARINE instruments- ST60 log- ST60 depth sounder- ST60 wind- ST60 wind repeaterCompassAutopilot RAYMARINE ST6001 including gyro sensorChart plotter BROOKS & GATEHOUSE Zeus 7 at helm (new 2014)AIS-transponder (new 2013)VHF-radio SIMRAD RS87 DSCWiFi router with external antenna (new 2015)Kenwood radio/CD-player with two speakers in saloon and two cockpit speakersTV SAMSUNG 4K QLED with DVB-T2 and AirPlay (new 2021) in saloon on main bulkheadSafetyLiferaft (new 2022)LifeslingManual and electric bilge pumpSignal horn below spreaderFire extinguisherAccessoriesFolding carbon fibre gangway with teak treadsDinghy Suzumar 2,75 m (hardly used)Outboard engine YAMAHA 5 hp (new 2017)Furling genoa cover (new 2019)Steering wheel coverSun awningStern anchorFendersMooring lines
