Cruising sailing yacht GS Plus 65 series

3-cabinwith open transomwith bowsprit

The Grand Soleil 65 Plus, in the Performance edition, is not a flagship. It is a manifesto. It is the answer to an owner who is not looking for a simple yacht, but demands a masterpiece of dynamism shaped around their own desire: pure speed. This 65-footer is a one-of-a-kind piece, where the concept of production disappears to make way for uniqueness. Its soul is expressed in a sophisticated luxury, where absolute comfort and 'light' engineering coexist thanks to cutting-edge construction solutions. Every element is optimised for the art of fast sailing. In the Fano atelier, the collaboration between the shipyard and the client shapes a yacht capable of translating every breath of wind into acceleration and every touch of the helm into a perfect trajectory. It is the promise of total control, of an absolute connection with the sea. The exterior design of the Grand Soleil 65 Plus is the aesthetic translation of its impulse towards speed. The Fano atelier has sculpted waterlines that flee from every compromise, optimised for superior hydrodynamic efficiency. Compared to other interpretations, the deck profile here is defined by a low, sleek, almost aggressive coachroof, which reduces aerodynamic drag and lowers the centre of gravity. The underwater hull is a masterpiece of naval engineering, with a pronounced V at the bow that cuts through the wave and a minimised wetted surface to reduce drag. This translates into swift acceleration and immediate helm responsiveness, even in light breezes. Construction is the heart of this performance: the hull, laminated 100% in-house, uses a vacuum infusion process with vinyl ester resin and unidirectional carbon fabrics.
