1976 Grand Banks 42 Classic

Layout:

Practical layout, sturdy fiberglass construction, deep water design, and long-range capability all add up to a complete cruising boat. Semi displacement hull design, with a fine entry forward, hard chines aft, and a full keel.

The flybridge is easily accessible from the main deck and offers 360-degree visibility when underway or manoeuvring dockside. A pair of back-to-back double seats provide 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.

Electric windlass, mounted on a dual roller anchor platform protected by a stainless rail for simple anchoring. Shore power inlets located at the bow and stern for easy power connections. 

Ample storage with foredeck storage locker for lines and a large lazarette aft for storage of cruising gear.

Spacious main saloon for entertainment and main living. Forward is the fully equipped galley to port and the complete helm station to starboard. Upgraded ceilings with modern foam/fabric over marine plywood to help with noise absorption and installation of LED downlights.

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 plenty of storage space in multiple cabinets/drawers.

The helm area features 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 mouldings are blended with 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 neat and clean.

The exterior of the hull and deckhouse on the Grand Banks 42 is smooth gel coated fiberglass.

Teak decking is laid over the fiberglass on the main deck and flybridge. The bulwarks surrounding the wide main deck is capped with a sturdy teak safety rail providing safe movement from bow to stern for those on board.
