NANTUCKET represents an opportunity to own one of the most enduring and respected cruising yachts ever built - the Grand Banks 42 Classic - now offered at a newly reduced price of $179,000.
With only three owners since new, NANTUCKET reflects the kind of long-term stewardship buyers hope to find in a classic Grand Banks.

With 600 gallons of fuel capacity, comfortable accommodations for extended cruising, upper and lower helm stations, diesel heat, reverse-cycle air conditioning, an 8kW generator, inverter, RIB tender and extensive cruising equipment, NANTUCKET is exceptionally well suited for the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco Bay, the California coast, or extended cruising.

There is a reason the Grand Banks 42 Classic remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after cruising yachts of its generation. Its combination of seaworthy design, manageable size, economical operation, excellent visibility and genuine liveaboard comfort is difficult to duplicate.
What makes NANTUCKET particularly appealing is that much of the less glamorous - but very important - ownership work has already been addressed: bottom, thru-hulls, cutlass bearings, sanitation system, deck maintenance and brightwork.
