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 fiberglass construction, deep water design, and long range capability all add up to a complete cruising boat.
The Grand Banks semidisplacement hull design, with a fine entry forward, hard chines aft, and a full keel has been proven on waters around the world. Single or twin diesel power will deliver economy at hull speed and provide higher cruising speeds when larger than the standard engines are chosen. Many power options are available. The flybridge is easily accessible from the main deck and offers excellent 360-degree visibility when underway or maneuvering dockside. A pair of back-to-back double seats provide generous seating for eight with watertight storage beneath the seats. The bridge console has full instrumentation with handy storage for large items below. The steering wheel is handcrafted teak. The standard electric windlass, mounted on a dual roller anchor platform protected by a stainless rail, helps make the anchoring process as simple as possible. The location of the shore power inlets, at the bow and stern, makes power connections possible without boat position being a problem. The foredeck storage locker is great for lines and the large lazarette aft provides convenient storage for a variety of cruising gear. The focal point of the Grand Banks 42 Classic is the deckhouse. The spacious main saloon measures 14-feet, 8-inches by 10-feet, 4-inches and combines the activities hub, entertainment center, and main living area. Forward is the fully equipped galley to port and the complete helm station to starboard. The companion-way forward leads to the guest stateroom with V-berths and a roomy head with its own shower. The galley is complete with a range - oven, refrigerator, stainless steel sink, cutting boards, and excellent storage in several cabinets. The helm area features a full width overhead electronics locker and a flip up storage compartment for manuals and navigational tools. Just aft of the starboard door is the dry-bar cabinet. Looking aft in the saloon, you can see the long L-shaped settee with a teak yacht table. The aft stateroom displays beautiful teak joinery. Parquet soles, built-in furniture and cabinets and hand-crafted moldings are blended with modern fabrics to create the traditional yacht look. This stateroom features a choice of several layouts with a double berth to starboard and a single berth to port being standard. All layouts have exceptional storage in hanging lockers, bureaus, and below-berth drawers. A large, flat chart drawer is standard in each layout. The private owners head has a separate stall shower and good storage for towels in several cabinets. The engine room in the 42 Classic is special. With working space outboard of and between both engines there is plenty of installation space for essential gear. The standard 8-KW generator comes with a sound shield for quiet operation. The exterior of the hull and deckhouse on the GB 42 is smooth gelcoated fiberglass. Teak decking is laid over the fiberglass on the main deck and flybridge. The bulwarks surrounding the wide main deck are capped with a sturdy teak safety rail providing safe movement from bow to stern for those on board. The Grand Banks 42: In production since the 60s, her hull was redesigned in the early 90s giving the proven Grand Banks semi-displacement hull a longer waterline and an increased beam. Ideal for a couple with children or guests, she cruises economically at 9 knots, yet 17 knots is typical with optional engines. The Classic offers two staterooms, separated by the main saloon and galley. A variety of layouts are available including an aft cabin with an island double bed. The Europa's main saloon opens to a protected cockpit for expanded, one-level living. Two forward staterooms are standard. The Motoryacht provides increased living space with a spacious, full-width stateroom aft, and two additional staterooms forward. The aft sundeck expands the outdoor living area and provides room for stowage.

Ground Tackle: There was an anchor rode locker below the foredeck with a chain rode in the
locker attached to the anchor on the bow roller and a spare line rode accessible via a chain pipe
on deck. The locker was accessible through a door in the forward cabin bulkhead. There was a
substantial stainless steel CQR anchor stowed on the bow roller. The anchor rode was made up
of a substantial amount of galvanized steel chain that appeared serviceable. This was an
adequate arrangement for the vessel for monitored anchoring in reasonable weather. The anchor
was stowed on the bow roller with a securing line in addition to the anchor winch brake. The
anchor shackle should be properly moused. I recommend securing the bitter end of the anchor
rode to the vessel with small line to serve as a weak link in case the anchor is released accidently
when underway. There was a spare galvanized steel Danforth anchor stowed in the aft lazaret.
There was a Lofrans Tigres horizontal drum 1,000 watt DC electric anchor winch mounted on
the foredeck that functioned with up and down switches at each helm and on the foredeck. There

amidships and two mooring cleats adjacent to a closed chock on either side of the stern that were
serviceable. There were adequate dock lines securing the vessel.
There were forward lower accommodations accessible via steps adjacent to the
pilothouse helm. There was a forward cabin with vee berth. There was an enclosed head to
starboard and stowage to port in the forward accommodations. The forward accommodations
stepped up to the main saloon and pilothouse. The galley was arranged to port in the saloon.
The pilothouse helm was forward to starboard. There was an L shaped dinette with pedestal
table in the saloon aft to starboard. There was a bench seat for the pilothouse helm. There was a
bench seat aft to port in the saloon that could be extended to form a berth with an insert cushion
stowed below the seat. There was a Sony model CDX-2180 AM/FM/CD stereo installed with
speakers in the saloon and on the flybridge that functioned. There was a Samsung 28 inch flat
screen TV on a shelf in the saloon that was not tested. The TV should be securely mounted.
There were steps down aft in the saloon to the aft master cabin. There was a double island berth
aft. There was an enclosed shower stall to starboard and enclosed head to port forward in the
master cabin. The pilothouse saloon and forward accommodations had teak and holly
floorboards that were serviceable. The overhead liners in the accommodations were perforated
vinyl that was serviceable. The dinette and saloon seat cushions were in serviceable condition
with some staining on the undersides of the cushions. Access to the engine room was good
through the hinged hatches in the saloon floorboards. There were steps on the port side of the aft
deckhouse for access to the flybridge. There were fore and aft facing bench seats and an L
shaped bench seat on the flybridge that were serviceable. The flybridge seat cushions were
serviceable with some missing snaps that should be renewed as needed. There was a Bimini top
over the flybridge that was serviceable. The external canvas was in serviceable condition with
small tears at the aft corners of the flybridge rail coverings that should be repaired as needed.
There was a trawler style mast and boom installed at the aft end of the flybridge deck that were
serviceable aluminum spars. The boom was rigged with a boom topping lift and control lines.
The topping lift also served as a halyard for a steadying sail. The Dacron steadying sail was
