Hull number 276 of 365 built by “American Marine” known as “Grand Banks"

Highly regarded woodenboat builders, these vessels were built with yacal frames (yacal is a termite resistant and very strong hardwood) mahogany hulls, and decks with high quality teak throughout. From 1974 and beyond “Grand Banks” were built of fiberglass in the Singapore yards.
