The Gran Turismo DS luxury yacht gives you the opportunity to sail the Mediterranean Sea or around the world. The deckhouse provides for a very comfortable and pleasant stay on the yacht. The full panoramic perspective delivers unmatched visibility from the deckhouse, with a view of the sea, sails or anchoring place.
Lightweight structure, combined with advanced rigging, makes this yacht easy to handle with a small crew. In the forepart of the yacht there is a chine in the hull. This provides extra lift at high speeds and will also act as a spray-rail in order to keep the deckhouse, with lots of glass, free from salt and spray.
During periods of high wind, the water ballast tanks provide additional stability. Unnecessary weight is avoided, by which the light-weather properties are not endangered.

The Gran Turismo DS sailing yachts are built with high-end composite technology. As an option, the core of the sandwich is Core-Cell SAN foam or Red-Cedar wood. Carbon, Kevlar and/or E-glass fibre and epoxy provides for reinforcement, applied by the vacuum injection technique. The interiors are built of lightweight sandwich materials.
