It's a one of a kind work of art and that's what make this a rich mans toy.
They broke the mold and used zero "off the shelf parts" which means they can change ridiculous prices for repairs.
A practical sailor has to be a master craftsman and assemble a sailboat from the hull on up.. imo. To make it affordable and sustainable a sailor should know every detail it's strengths and limitations. Alternatively the captain will learn the expensive way paying with wasted time though and effort.

Lovely “racer” , not taking it out of the pond though. Wouldn’t trust that thing in a proper seaway if you paid me.

Those shrouds are so light they are a joke, but, then again, this is just a marina / Saturday toy as opposed to a real yacht. That hull is extra ugly, but that is the way things are now.

I would argue that wide beam hull shapes very much DO NOT work for cruising. The immersed hull shape becomes very assymetric when heeled which gives high steering moments and loads. Waves only makes things worse. And while the extra beam increases righting moment it also increases drag at about the same rate. It works very well for race boats which are limited or rated by length. It's better to take the same displacement & volume and build a longer narrower boat for cruising: it's the same size boat, it costs the same to build, but it will be faster, easier to sail and have lower loads.

Owners cabin in the bow? Must be made for the Med. No thanks, I will take the port aft cabin. Also, I like the 50/50 sail arrangement, but this will lead to an immense load on the reefing gear. I worry the marketing team have more power than the yacht designers.

Grand Soleil make some luxurious looking boats. On the 52, what is the electrical appliance across from the galley, it looks like an oven?
