1995 Grand Banks Classic 42

SELLER DESCRIPTION

In a world where boats that have worked just fine for years are cast aside to satisfy market demand for more modern styling, the Grand Banks 42 has changed little in her four decades of production. Trawler yachts are known for their timelessly handsome style and solid construction, and few, if any, are in greater demand than the Grand Banks 42 Classic.Drawn by Ken Smith, the original Grand Banks 42 Classic design remained unchanged until 1991 when the company retooled and made the hull longer and wider. While the GB42 Classic featured here is unquestionably the most popular model.Originally the GB42s were built of wood utilizing traditional carvel planking and sawn frame construction techniques. Beginning with hull #353 in 1973, the hulls have been built with hand-laid fiberglass with an integral, full-length keel that protects underwater running gear. Even though Grand Banks has built their boats of fiberglass to this day, they retain the molded-in planking lines reminiscent of their wood heritage.The quality of joiner work of Grand Banks has become the benchmark for this class of yacht and, although often copied, quite frankly is seldom matched by competitors.Two steps along the port cabin house take you to the deck area over the aft cabin where there is room for storage of a 10-foot dinghy to starboard. The boom for the steadying sail serves as a convenient davit for raising and lowering the dinghy to and from the deck. There are steps from the aft cabin top to the flybridge. The flybridge is nearly 15-feet long with seating for six or more and affords excellent visibility.Inside the GB42 Classic, the layout features a two-stateroom/two-head arrangement divided by midship saloon and galley. There have been very few changes over the years to the basic interior arrangement. The GB42 has large cabin windows that let in plenty of light so the interior never appears dungeon-like.The arrangement of the GB42 is centered around the main saloon with entrance companionways on either side. The saloon is spacious with an L-shaped dinette aft to starboard and an opposite side settee. The galley is arranged on the port side forward and storage is ample and easily reached.From the main saloon you go down several steps to the forward cabin that features a large V-berth, head to starboard and hanging lockers to port; headroom is well over six feet and there are opening ports and an overhead deck hatch for natural ventilation. The master stateroom is aft of the main saloon and again down several steps with the optional off centerline island queen berth slightly to starboard, a large head with vanity to port and separate shower compartment to port. A bureau with draws and hanging locker are forward of the port berth. The hull form of the GB42 is a semi-displacement design meaning that given enough horsepower planing speeds can be attained.
