The Grand Soleil 42 LC (Long Cruise) represents a strategic pivot for Cantiere del Pardo, translating the shipyard’s storied racing heritage into a dedicated bluewater cruising platform. Launched as the entrylevel model for the "Long Cruise" range, the 42 LC was designed by Marco Lostuzzi, with styling and interiors handled by the renowned Nauta Design. Unlike the brand’s Performance line, which prioritizes IRC/ORC optimization and aggressive weight saving, the LC series focuses on volume, simplified sail handling, and longrange comfort. This model follows the success of its larger siblings, the 46 LC and 52 LC, utilizing a hull form with greater beam carried further aft and higher topsides to maximize internal living space. According to the manufacturer's technical specifications on the Grand Soleil official site, the 42 LC is available in two distinct versions: a standard "Cruising" version featuring a signature carbonfiber mainsheet arch, and a "Sport" version that removes the arch and optimizes the rig for higher performance.
