1992 Grand Banks 42 Classic Boat in Newport US

The Grand Banks 42' Classic has long been a benchmark for traditional cruising yachts, known for her timeless profile, practical layout, and comfortable accommodations. With two staterooms, two heads, upper and lower helm stations, full walk-around decks, and a full-beam aft master, the 42 Classic remains equally well suited for extended cruising or simply enjoying comfortable time aboard.

LIZZIE'S owner has maintained and upgraded the boat with an open-checkbook approach and the expectation of long-term use, investing extensively in her systems, equipment, cosmetics, and upkeep. Many of the recent improvements were undertaken with no intention of selling, with equal attention given to her mechanical systems and overall appearance.

Highlights Include:

• Seasonally used in New England with heated indoor off-season storage under current ownership

• Full beam aft master with centerline island berth

• Updated teak decks, Naiad stabilizers, and a new 10KW Fischer Panda genset

• Twin CAT 300 HP 3116TA diesels with 2,900 original hours, controlled by Glendinning electronic throttles with ProPilot Joystick

• Complete Raymarine electronics suite at upper and lower helms (2024)

Showings available by appointment. Please see details below for full specifications, or contact the listing broker for further information.
