Estela is a highly customized version of the Grand Soleil 52 Long Cruise which has been outfitted to be the ultimate luxury performance cruiser. It has been carefully outfitted with the best options and several were custom ordered or upgraded above standard.
The Grand Soleil 52 Long Cruise is a premium bluewater cruiser that seamlessly blends performance, comfort, and Italian elegance. Designed by Marco Lostuzzi with interiors by Nauta Design, this model showcases Grand Soleil’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Her hull is optimized for long-range cruising, offering a smooth and stable ride in a wide range of conditions. A powerful yet easily managed sail plan, generous beam carried aft, and twin helms deliver precise control under sail, while thoughtful deck layouts ensure safety and ease of movement offshore or at anchor.
Since delivery, Estela has been constantly upgraded including Victron lithium conversion, Starlink, and Quantum tri-radial laminated sails. This Grand Soleil 52 Long Cruise was also equipped as the coveted SPORT VERSION, which includes a fixed point mainsheet in the cockpit, rod rigging, hydraulic backstay, upgraded winches, and open aft cockpit. Included in this package is the performance, 9’ 6” torpedo bulb keel, for excellent upwind performance and speed. Sailing single handed is incredibly easy thanks to the four two-speed electric Harken winches at the dual helms, Harken Switch mainsail track with stack pack, and upgraded Harken below deck jib furler with options to use either the self-tacking jib or traditional longitudinal jib tracks. Below deck you will find a spacious Long Cruise interior with three generous cabins and three heads, plus an electric lowering dinette table. Estela is fully air conditioned with a tropical level package and includes an upgraded 10000i Fischer Panda generator.
Whether day sailing, island hopping, or participating in an ocean race event this Grand Soleil 52 LC has everything you will need.
