Additional InformationThe Grand Banks 42 Classic is one of the most recognizable and respected cruising yachts ever built, combining traditional styling, proven cruising capability and exceptional use of space in a manageable 42-foot package.
Built by American Marine, this 1977 Grand Banks 42 Classic represents the enduring craftsmanship that established Grand Banks as one of the premier names in cruising yachts. Her handsome traditional profile, substantial fiberglass hull, wide protected side decks, flybridge and beautiful teak interior create a yacht that remains as appealing today as when she was launched.
Designed for comfortable coastal cruising and extended voyages, the 42 Classic features a practical two-stateroom, two-head arrangement that provides excellent privacy for an owner and guests.
The spacious main salon is surrounded by large windows, creating excellent visibility and abundant natural light. Rich teak cabinetry and joinery give the interior the warm, traditional atmosphere for which Grand Banks yachts are renowned. The interior helm provides a comfortable protected steering station in poor weather, while the flybridge offers outstanding visibility and a wonderful open-air location for operating and entertaining.
The private aft owner's stateroom provides excellent accommodations and storage, while the forward guest stateroom offers comfortable sleeping accommodations with its own nearby head and shower facilities. The well-equipped galley and generous storage throughout the vessel make the 42 Classic particularly well suited to extended cruising and liveaboard use.
Twin diesel engines and traditional shaft drives provide the reliability, maneuverability and economical cruising characteristics that experienced boaters value. Her semi-displacement hull and substantial keel were designed for comfortable, predictable operation while retaining the efficiency expected from a true cruising trawler.
The Grand Banks 42 Classic has earned a loyal following among knowledgeable yachtsmen because it offers something increasingly difficult to find in modern production boats: traditional craftsmanship, practical systems, genuine cruising accommodations and unmistakable character.
For an owner looking for a capable cruising yacht, comfortable liveaboard, coastal passagemaker or simply a beautiful classic motor yacht, the Grand Banks 42 Classic remains one of the benchmarks of the category.
