BROKER'S REMARKS

Jan is a well-found performance cruiser that will appeal to a buyer who values serious sailing capability alongside the comfort and convenience of a thoroughly maintained and recently upgraded yacht. The Grand Soleil 50 J/V is a respected Judel/Vrolijk design — a fractional sloop with a purposeful hull form and a sail plan that rewards an active approach to cruising — and this example has clearly been owned by someone with the same attitude to upkeep.

The investment since 2021 is substantial and meaningful: a fully overhauled engine, a complete new sail wardrobe in CDX laminate, new running rigging, a bow thruster, and a refreshed interior all point to a yacht that arrives in the new owner's hands with the major expenditure already addressed. The addition of an inverter and solar panel rounds out the energy system for extended use away from marinas.

The four-cabin layout — modified to provide full-size cabins — works well for extended passages or sharing with guests. The teak decks and hull windows give the yacht a quality feel above and below decks. For the prospective buyer seeking a capable, well-maintained performance cruiser based in the Ionian and ready for extended Mediterranean passages

HISTORY

Jan was built by Cantiere del Pardo in Italy in 2006 as a Grand Soleil 50 J/V — a design produced between 2004 and 2014 from the drawing office of Judel/Vrolijk & Co. She has been professionally maintained on an annual schedule throughout her life, with a programme that has included antifouling, engine servicing, polishing, teak care, and sail servicing each year, and full winter storage ashore.

Significant works carried out in 2021 include a complete engine overhaul, installation of a retractable Side Power bow thruster, full replacement of running rigging, and a complete new sail wardrobe in CDX laminate (mainsail, genoa 135%, and gennaker). The interior was fully refreshed in the same year with new cushions, upholstery, and mattresses. A WhisperPower 2000W inverter was fitted in 2023 alongside a new engine turbo. A flexible solar panel was added in 2024.
