1987 Grand Banks 42 Classic

This 1987 Grand Banks 42 Classic is a fiberglass trawler built for extended cruising. Twin Ford Lehman diesel engines produce 270 horsepower and deliver a cruising speed of 8.5 knots with a top speed of 17 knots. The boat measures 42 feet in length with a 13.7-foot beam, providing a stable platform for open-water work.

The boat carries substantial fuel and water capacity with 600-gallon fuel tanks and 300 gallons of fresh water. Power and propulsion systems include solar panels, a wind generator, an Onan genset, an updated inverter, and an electric hoist with boom. Navigation equipment comprises Furuno radar and chart plotter alongside Garmin electronics. An autopilot manages long passages, while a galvanic isolator and GFCI dock breaker protect the electrical systems.

Original teak decking runs throughout, and standing rigging supports the sails. The flying bridge features updated cushions and canvas. Below, accommodations include an updated refrigerator, freezer, and ice maker. A holding tank with level indicator manages waste. The boat carries a dinghy with a 25 hp Mercury outboard.

Recently hauled for annual inspection and maintenance, the boat underwent cleaning and inspection of intakes and running gear, replacement of sacrificial zincs, cleaning and coating of the running gear, and fresh bottom paint with hull wax applied. Spare parts are on board.
