The Grand Soleil 35, introduced in the early 1980s, represents a defining era for Cantiere del Pardo, where the shipyard earned its reputation as the "Italian Swan." Designed by the French naval architect Alain Jézéquel, the 35 was conceived as a highquality performance cruiser capable of competitive racing under the IOR (International Offshore Rule) while maintaining the luxury and comfort required for extended Mediterranean cruising. With over 200 hulls produced between 1982 and 1992, it remains one of the most successful models in the builder’s history. The boat is distinguished by its classic wedgeshaped coachroof, elegant sheer line, and a build philosophy that prioritized structural rigidity. It served as a midsized bridge between the earlier Grand Soleil 34 and the larger Grand Soleil 39, sharing much of the same DNA in terms of joinery and hull aesthetics.
