42' Grand Banks 42 Classic Trawlers

Manufacturer Provided Description

The Grand Banks 42 Classic has been decades in the making. The original Ken Smith design has been amended and updated with the practical input of her owners. The experience gained since the laying of the first GB 42 keel in 1966 is reflected in each one commissioned today. Her practical layout, sturdy wood construction, deep water design, and long range capability all add up to a complete cruising boat.
