SAILING STORIES - Carlo Pagliani GS+72 - Panta Rei II

What does it mean to be the first?​ For Carlo Pagliani, it meant choosing a yacht without a benchmark to compare it with. No sistership to follow. No established parameters. No certainty about how the project would truly perform once it left the yard.​ That was part of the risk. And part of the adventure.​ As the first owner of the Grand Soleil Plus 72, Carlo was involved in a project where the team behind the boat mattered as much as the boat itself. He was drawn to the people, their expertise and their ability to bring together aesthetics, liveability, construction strength and the sailing plan into one coherent vision.​ Then came the real test: the sea.​ PantaRei 2 has sailed more than 25,000 nautical miles, including an Atlantic crossing. ​ It has been tested over long passages and extended periods on board, becoming not just a yacht, but a true home at sea, capable of supporting life on board for weeks at a time.​ And sometimes the strongest proof comes from something very simple. After twenty days of sailing, Carlo had experienced no problems.​ The risk of being first had become the privilege of discovering what the boat could really do.​ Sailing Stories.
