Blackwing is a 2023 Grand Soleil 44 Race, designed by Matteo Polli and built by Cantiere del Pardo in Forlì, Italy. Before reaching her home on the California coast, she was finished in Miami — dressed in Awlgrip Stone-Grey Metallic with a Flexiteek deck — then sailed through the Panama Canal to the Pacific.
The result is a yacht that performs like a racer and hosts like a private retreat: fast, refined, and unmistakably modern from every angle.
