The Grand Soleil 45 designed by German Frers, produced by Cantiere del Pardo between roughly 1989 and 1995, represents a pinnacle of the "Italian Swan" era. This moniker was earned not through imitation, but because Frers was simultaneously designing for both Nautor’s Swan and Grand Soleil, resulting in a shared DNA of sleek, low-profile coachroofs, powerful hull forms, and exceptional build quality. The 45 was a departure from the more traditional lines of earlier Alain Jézéquel designs, moving toward a performance-oriented cruiser that could compete in IMS racing circuits while providing a level of luxury and aesthetic refinement rarely seen in production yachts of the period.
