The 1989 Grand Banks 36 Classic is a fiberglass trawler-style cruiser built for steady, comfortable cruising. Twin Ford Lehman diesel engines deliver 270 horsepower combined, enabling a cruising speed of 9 knots with a maximum of 15 knots. The deep-V hull and teak construction throughout the main deck, flybridge, and aft platform reflect classic trawler design. A full yard service was completed in 2025, including renewal of seacocks and teak bulwark refurbishment in September 2025. Engine hours stand at 2,692 as of September 2025.
The accommodation layout centers on two cabins, each with private head. The owner's stateroom features a double island bed, private desk and armchair, cedar-lined pantry, and extensive storage. The guest cabin forward has a large V-berth with infill, skylight with mosquito netting, and cedar-lined hanging locker. Both heads include vanity units with cultured marble countertops, electric toilets with automatic shower pump-out, and teak shower gratings. The salon features a lower helm station, L-shaped settee with dining table, port-side linear galley with front-loading fridge, and dual entry doors.
The flybridge offers a duplicate helm with 360-degree vision and venturi windscreen, seating for eight, bimini top with side screens, and watertight stowage throughout. An aft platform with folding passarelle complements the design. The mizzen mast and steadying sail are accessible from both flybridge and poop deck for tender handling.
Power and systems include a 3.6 kW ONAN genset, 12V and 220V electrical with recently replaced service and engine batteries, two 170W solar panels with MPPT controller, hot and cold pressure water system with 220V calorifier, and a comprehensive navigation suite including GPS plotter, radar, depth sounder, and autopilot. Safety gear includes a six-person liferaft, electric anchor windlass, and dual anchors. The tender, outboard, and numerous deck provisions are included.
