Grand Banks 42 Classic - Featuring full beam master stateroom

The distinctive Grand Banks 42, built by American Marine, is a true classic that is often imitated but rarely, if ever, equalled, with a solid reputation as a good boat for two people with occasional guests.

This trawler-style yacht embodies the robust design of a true sea-going vessel, backed by the legendary Grand Banks reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and seaworthiness. Its evolutionary design has maintained this model's reputation for exceptional dependability and strong resale value.

The GB 42 Classic is considered Grand Banks' most successful trawler design, with 1,554 hulls delivered before production ended in 2004. Designed for cruising, these vessels attract owners looking to upgrade to a larger yacht for extended voyages, liveaboard comfort, interior space that is huge for a 42-foot vessel, and superior craftsmanship.

Grand Banks owners value timeless design, solid construction, and exceptional teak artistry, over speed. The GB 42 Classic exemplifies these qualities with its renowned semi-displacement hull, featuring a fine entry forward, hard chines aft, outstanding stability, a full keel, and efficient fuel consumption - all perfectly engineered for longer-distance cruising.

Grand Spirit, hull number 1483, is the newest and most well-equipped Grand Banks 42 Classic currently available for sale on the Australian market. Inside Grand Spirit, everything is orderly and uncluttered. A lifetime's boating experience is evident, as the current owner clearly understands what is necessary aboard, and what is 'fluff. '

With an extensive inventory and a series of upgrades ensuring many more years of reliable cruising, she promises exceptional comfort, economic performance, and lasting enjoyment for her next discerning owner.

Like all GB 42 Classics, Grand Spirit features a spacious teak-deck flybridge, walkaround teak decks, and a meticulously crafted interior. The aft master stateroom offers a walkaround queen-size berth, a private head to port, and a separate shower to starboard, while the forward double guest cabin is equipped with V-berths, its own head, and a separate shower. This well-thought-out layout ensures privacy and comfort, making extended stays onboard both enjoyable and effortless.

Powered by economical twin Cummins 6BTA 220 HP engines with just 2,020 hours, Grand Spirit offers efficient and comfortable cruising, delivering 9-10 knots, at 1500 rpm with a nice easy motion, burning approximately twenty-five litres per hour.

Professionally maintained by her knowledgeable current owner, she has seen numerous and significant upgrades in recent years. Included with the vessel is an AB centre console rigid inflatable tender which is launched and retrieved via a very user friendly hydraulic lift mounted on the swim platform.

This yacht truly embodies the essence of timeless cruising, effortlessly blending comfort, performance, and exceptional craftsmanship with meticulous care and attention to detail.
