Few cruising yachts have achieved the enduring reputation of the Grand Banks 42 Classic. Instantly recognizable by her traditional profile, raised flybridge, broad side decks and beautifully proportioned deckhouse, the 42 Classic helped define the modern cruising trawler. Built by American Marine during the early years of Grand Banks production, this 1969 example represents the highly desirable wood-hull era of the legendary 42 Classic. Her semi-displacement hull, substantial construction and twin-diesel configuration provide the comfortable, economical cruising characteristics for which Grand Banks became famous. The Classic layout is particularly well suited to extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard use, offering two private staterooms, two heads, a spacious salon, lower helm, full galley and expansive flybridge. Wide protected side decks and substantial bulwarks make moving around the vessel easy and secure. For cruising the Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, Canadian Gulf Islands or Inside Passage, the Grand Banks 42 remains particularly well suited. At an economical displacement cruising speed, she offers the space and comfort to spend weeks aboard while remaining manageable for a cruising couple or family. For the buyer who appreciates traditional craftsmanship and one of the most recognizable cruising designs ever produced, the Grand Banks 42 Classic remains difficult to duplicate.
