Meticulously maintained throughout the years, this yacht is poised for her next owner.

The Grand Banks 42 Classic is a masterpiece refined over decades. Originally crafted by Ken Smith, this design has evolved with valuable insights from its owners. Since the first GB 42 was launched in 1966, each vessel today embodies this rich heritage. With a practical layout, robust fiberglass build, deep-water design, and impressive range, it stands as a quintessential cruising yacht. The semi-displacement hull, featuring a fine forward entry, hard chines aft, and a full keel, has proven its mettle globally. Whether powered by single or twin diesel engines, it offers economical hull speed and enhanced cruising speeds with larger engine options. The flybridge, easily accessed from the main deck, provides panoramic 360-degree views, perfect for navigation or docking. Seating for eight is available with waterproof storage beneath. The bridge console is equipped with comprehensive instrumentation and ample storage. The teak steering wheel adds a touch of elegance. The electric windlass, mounted on a dual roller anchor platform with a stainless rail, simplifies anchoring. Shore power inlets at both bow and stern ensure easy connections regardless of boat position. The foredeck locker is ideal for lines, while the spacious lazarette aft accommodates various cruising gear. The deckhouse is the heart of the Grand Banks 42 Classic. The expansive main saloon, measuring 14 feet 8 inches by 10 feet 4 inches, serves as the activity hub, entertainment center, and main living space. Forward, the fully equipped galley is to port, with the helm station to starboard. The companionway leads to the guest stateroom with V-berths and a generous head with a shower. The galley includes a range, oven, refrigerator, stainless steel sink, cutting boards, and ample cabinet storage. The helm area features an overhead electronics locker and a storage compartment for manuals and navigational tools. A dry-bar cabinet is located just aft of the starboard door. The saloon features a long L-shaped settee with a teak yacht table. The aft stateroom showcases exquisite teak joinery. Parquet floors, built-in furniture, and handcrafted moldings blend with modern fabrics to create a classic yacht ambiance. This stateroom offers several layout options, with a standard double berth to starboard and a single berth to port. All layouts provide exceptional storage in hanging lockers, bureaus, and under-berth drawers. A large chart drawer is standard. The private owner's head includes a separate shower and ample towel storage. The engine room in the 42 Classic is noteworthy, offering space for essential gear installation. The standard 8-KW generator is equipped with a sound shield for quiet operation. The hull and deckhouse exterior feature smooth gel-coated fiberglass, with teak decking over the main deck and flybridge. The wide main deck is surrounded by teak safety rails, ensuring safe movement from bow to stern. The Grand Banks 42, in production since the 60s, was redesigned in the early 90s, enhancing its semi-displacement hull with a longer waterline and increased beam. Perfect for families or guests, it cruises economically at 9 knots, with 17 knots achievable with optional engines. The Classic offers two staterooms, separated by the main saloon and galley. Various layouts include an aft cabin with an island double bed. The Europa's main saloon opens to a protected cockpit for seamless, one-level living. Two forward staterooms are standard. The Motoryacht variant provides expanded living space with a full-width aft stateroom and two additional forward staterooms. A galley-down layout with one forward stateroom is available. The aft sundeck enhances outdoor living and offers additional storage space.
