Grand Banks 42 Classic 2000

"LE SOLEIL" is a well-maintained vessel equipped with twin Cummins diesel engines. It features upgraded electronics, including cameras that provide a view from the flybridge and engine room. The flybridge is also fitted with a brand new canvas enclosure. The master stateroom is located at the aft and boasts a double island berth, a private enclosed shower to starboard, and an enclosed head to port, complete with a private desk and direct access to the aft deck. The Grand Banks 42 Classic has been refined over decades, combining the original Ken Smith design with insights from its owners. The evolution since the first GB 42 keel was laid in 1966 is evident in every model today. Its practical layout, durable fiberglass build, deep-water design, and long-range capability make it an ideal cruising boat. The semi-displacement hull design, with a fine entry at the front and hard chines at the back, has been successfully tested in waters around the globe. Whether powered by single or twin diesel engines, this boat offers fuel efficiency at cruising speed and higher speeds with upgraded engines. The flybridge is easily accessible from the main deck, providing excellent 360-degree visibility for navigation and docking maneuvers. It features back-to-back double seating for eight with watertight storage beneath. The bridge console is equipped with full instrumentation and ample storage for larger items. The handcrafted teak steering wheel adds a touch of elegance. An electric windlass, mounted on a dual roller anchor platform protected by a stainless steel rail, simplifies the anchoring process. Shore power inlets at both the bow and stern ensure easy connections regardless of the boat's position. The foredeck storage locker is perfect for lines, and the large lazarette at the back offers convenient space for various cruising gear. The centerpiece of the Grand Banks 42 Classic is its spacious deckhouse. The main saloon, measuring 14 feet 8 inches by 10 feet 4 inches, serves as the activities hub, entertainment center, and main living area. The fully equipped galley is located to port, while the helm station is to starboard. A companionway leads forward to the guest stateroom, which features V-berths and a generous head with its own shower. The galley includes a range oven, refrigerator, stainless steel sink, cutting boards, and ample storage in several cabinets. The helm area is designed with a full-width overhead electronics locker and a flip-up storage compartment for manuals and navigational tools. A dry bar cabinet is located just aft of the starboard door. In the saloon, a long L-shaped settee with a teak yacht table invites relaxation. The aft stateroom is adorned with exquisite teak joinery, parquet soles, built-in furniture, and hand-crafted moldings, all harmoniously blended with contemporary fabrics to create a classic yacht ambiance. This stateroom offers multiple layout options, with a standard configuration featuring a double berth to starboard and a single berth to port, all providing exceptional storage with hanging lockers, bureaus, and below-berth drawers. Each layout includes a large, flat chart drawer. The private owner’s head has a separate stall shower and sufficient storage for towels in several cabinets. The engine room in the 42 Classic is notably spacious, allowing for ample working space around and between both engines, accommodating essential gear. The standard 8-KW generator is equipped with a sound shield for quiet operation. The exterior hull and deckhouse are finished with smooth gel-coated fiberglass, while teak decking is laid over the fiberglass on both the main deck and flybridge. The wide main deck is surrounded by bulwarks capped with a sturdy teak safety rail for safe passage from bow to stern. The Grand Banks 42 has been in production since the 1960s, with a hull redesign in the early 90s that extended its waterline and increased its beam, enhancing the proven semi-displacement design. Perfect for couples with children or guests, it cruises efficiently at 9 knots, with a typical speed of 17 knots when equipped with optional engines. The Classic model features two staterooms separated by the main saloon and galley, with a variety of layouts available, including an aft cabin with an island double bed. The Europa model extends the living space with a main saloon that opens to a protected cockpit for seamless one-level living, while the Motoryacht variant provides increased living space with a full-width stateroom aft and two additional staterooms forward. The aft sundeck enhances outdoor living and offers additional storage space."
