For those searching for pedigree, practicality, and timeless appeal wrapped into a versatile owner-operator package, this vessel commands attention.
Access is via her teak swim platform and into her spacious teak-laid cockpit. This area is well suited to entertaining and has been customised for fishing with additional eutectic refrigeration and a gunwale-mounted S/S bait board. Beneath the cockpit sole sits a Seakeeper 6 stabilizer, ensuring remarkable comfort. At the front of the cockpit you will find a sink and a Cookout stainless steel electric BBQ. The entirety of the cockpit is protected from the elements by way of her custom structural hardtop.
Access is a breeze from the cockpit up onto the wide walk-around side decks which is perfect for young and old crew members. As per the cockpit her side decks are teak laid, and her toe rails are varnished for a timeless presentation. Her blue hull is 2 pak painted and gleams.
As you step up from the cockpit you enter the spacious saloon and you are welcomed by the usual flawless Grand Banks timberwork and craftsmanship. Her saloon is light, bright and breezy with her 360 degrees wrap around glazing featuring an electric opening aft drop-down window, opening centre windscreen, huge glass sunroof and selected port and starboard saloon windows for incredible ventilation. Don't worry - if you are more the air-conditioning type - we have that covered as well! To port in the saloon you will find an L-shaped settee and dining table. To starboard you will find a Samsung hi/lo TV and two individual lounge seats.
For the skipper the helm to starboard is fitted with late model touch screen Simrad electronics and a comfortable Stidd helm seat to reel in the miles. The navigator enjoys a two-seater forward facing bench seat to port.
Access to the lower deck galley and accommodation is via a centreline staircase down just a few steps. To port you will find a U-shaped galley which gets lots of natural light from the windscreen above. Her galley features a network of overhead cupboards, stone benchtops, Coolmatic under-counter refrigeration, dedicated Seagull water purifier tap, Miele four burner ceramic cooktop and a Miele microwave oven.
Her accommodation layout is a spacious twin cabin arrangement. The master is located in the bow and features a double island bed, twin bedside reading sconces and 12v fans, Teac 19" TV and access to the ensuite. Her midship guest cabin features a double bed off to starboard, twin reading lights, and a full-length mirror on the forward bulkhead. Access to this cabin is via sliding French doors providing a spacious open feel below deck when in their open position. Both cabins share the ensuite with double door access from either the master cabin or companionway.
'Under Cover' is powered by Twin Cummins QSC8.3's at 500hp each permitting an impressive sprint speed. For ease of docking she is equipped with a Side-Power bow thruster and wireless Yacht Controller docking remote.
