One of the most appreciated Pardo designs from the ’90s, the Grand Soleil 38, designed by Pascal Conq (Groupe Finot), is a sloop with elegant lines and good performance in all points of sail. Boasting a considerable freeboard and a well-organized deck, it made its mark thanks to a very welcoming cockpit and well-arranged rigging. The quality, needless to say, is top-notch; both above and below deck. A classic among the Grand Soleil boats of the late century.
