Grand Soleil GS80 LC with APM telescopic keels launched! March 2026
Following the delivery, the installation and the test of the keel, the beautiful new first GS 80 has been launched in Fano last week end.
All went smooth for this very first cooperation for us with the iconic Italian yard, and we are now focusing on the sail trials to come.
This cooperation continues the path we are encountering with more and more interest of the modern yacht owners, yards and naval architects for enjoying the advantages of our telescopic keels, with shallow draft, no encumbrance in the interiors, still with high hydrodynamic performances.
We are thankful to the yard team of Cantiere del Pardo, the owner’s team, and the design team, for the trust in our products.
Stay tuned with the arising news regarding this new exiting project, with naval architecture of Matteo Polli TD and Nauta Yacht Design for the interior/exterior design.
