Introduction
The present manual has been conceived by Cantiere del Pardo,
to provide the user of the Grand Soleil 46.3' with useful information on
the on board systems of the yacht and to allow our customers to utilize
the 46.3' to it’s full potential in the greatest safety.
This manual, obviously, can not replace the fundamental
knowledge, experience and seamanship required to sail a yacht in
the same class as the Grand Soleil 46.3'. The user of such a yacht will
have acquired through direct experience or through the hiring of a
professional crew the necessary skills to safely operate the vessel
which can not be provided by a manual.
We strongly recommend the user to read carefully the
information provided and follow all the recommendations that the
Builder has included in this booklet: they will allow him to take full
advantage of the yacht’s performance in the greatest safety.
The Grand Soleil 46.3' is the result of a great effort by the
Cantiere del Pardo to build an extremely comfortable and safe yacht
utilizing the best materials, components and systems available,
integrating them to create a very innovative yacht.
In addition to reading all the technical data provided in this
owner’s manual we recommend a careful reading of all the manu-
facturers manuals and booklets of the various components installed
on the yacht. Reference must be made to these for all maintenance
and use of the equipment.
Cantiere del Pardo reserves the right to modify the type and
position of any equipment and accessories entirely at its discretion.
Owners must always consult this manual before undertak-
ing any work which is not routine maintenance.
