Cantiere del Pardo is proud to announce the stunning victory of Grand Soleil 44 Essentia in the 2022 ORC B class World Championship.

Congratulations to the owner Catalin Trandafir and his crew who once again distinguished themselves with great success in the most renowned regatta of the Mediterranean, standing on the podium as first-place medalists. This year's ORC championship was held in the beautiful waters of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, where the boats were hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

Grand Soleil 44 Essentia is part of the Grand Soleil family, Race fleet, the most aggressive line featured by sporty water lines and hard deck equipment aimed at racers and speed enthusiasts. However, this model has a dual soul: the Shipyard also offers the same hull as the Performance line. The cruising nature of this boat makes it perfect for owners who love fast cruising to face long sailings with a more comfortable trim, but without sacrificing sailing performance.
