The hull of the Pardo 43 is built in vinylester infusion in one piece with the keel while the superstructure and deck are in PVC sandwich. Its V-shaped hull with an angle of 16° aft and 50° forward ensures good seakeeping, fast trimming and fluid manoeuvring. Its walk-around deck makes it easy to move around on board, and the many handrails inside make it safe to move around. Its sporty design is accentuated by its descending blanks - the bulwarks are higher at the front than at the rear. This configuration protects the foredeck - which receives another large sundeck - from water splashes.
At the bow is the anchor locker, the bow opens to let out the anchor and its anchor winch, thanks to a piston system. An ingenious, fully automatic system.
At the stern is a large hydraulic platform with a huge overhanging sundeck, which covers the engine block - 2 x Volvo IPS 500 (370 hp) diesel (optional IPS 600), giving it a speed of 39 knots. On the deck, behind the sundeck, a saloon with two large benches serves as a dining area. The multi-position backrests make it possible to modulate the space: enlarge the sunbathing area by lowering the table, create a bench facing the outside kitchen, next to the pilot seats.
The helm station has 3 pilot seats, the lower part of which is removable for standing driving. The large windshield without side pillars protects the rider from spray. Access to the cabin is through a sliding door on the port side. A carbon T-top with an electric bimini (which can be kept in navigation up to 20 knots) houses the steering console.
In this space there is a double cabin at the bow with plenty of storage space and a bathroom with separate shower. At the stern, the space is used for storage and can optionally accommodate a second cabin with two separate beds. The cabins are bright and naturally ventilated. Note the possibility of standing in the mid-cabin thanks to the clever use of height under the pilot seats.
This model made in Italy of very good quality and impeccable finishes is a real success, as 9 boats have already been sold (but only 2 units produced). The Pardo 52, the largest unit on the construction site, will not be unveiled until spring 2018, and Düsseldorf 2019 for the presentation of the smallest model, the Pardo 36.
The Pardo 43 is custom in terms of paint, upholstery and woodwork. The sale price is from 450,000 euros HT while the price of the model exhibited in Cannes (with options) was 620,000 euros HT.
