Overview
About this vessel
Hiryu is a 1982 Grand Banks 42 Europa, combining the distinctive lines and traditional craftsmanship of a classic Grand Banks with substantial renovation work completed in 2023.
The Grand Banks 42 has earned a long-standing reputation as a capable displacement cruiser, and the Europa configuration adds a particularly practical layout with protected side decks, comfortable interior living space and a flybridge above.
Powered by twin Caterpillar 3116TA 350HP diesel engines, Hiryu is equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising, extended passages or comfortable weekends aboard.
Following the 2023 renovation, the exterior was completely repainted, interior timberwork revarnished and new upholstery installed in both the saloon and flybridge. There remain several exterior cosmetic items for a future owner to address, particularly varnishing of the external timber rails and transom.
Below deck, Hiryu provides practical accommodation for extended weekends and longer periods aboard. Her interior retains much of the warm timber character associated with classic Grand Banks yachts, with the woodwork revarnished as part of the 2023 renovation.
The main saloon provides a comfortable social and dining space with good visibility through the surrounding windows, while air-conditioning makes the yacht practical for year-round use in Southeast Asia.
The Grand Banks Europa design is particularly appealing in tropical climates. Wide, covered side decks provide sheltered movement between the cockpit and foredeck, while the flybridge creates a second helm and outdoor social area above the main accommodation. The large aft cockpit and practical deck arrangement provide useful outdoor space for entertaining, fishing, diving or simply relaxing at anchor.
A Grand Banks of this generation will appeal to a different buyer from a modern production motor yacht. Hiryu offers traditional styling, substantial fibreglass construction, twin Caterpillar diesel power, generous tankage and a layout designed around comfortable cruising rather than maximum interior volume.
The extensive work completed in 2023 has refreshed many of her cosmetic areas, while the remaining exterior timber and Bimini work gives the next owner scope to continue improving the yacht to their preferred standard.
For buyers looking for a classic Grand Banks 42 Europa in Singapore, Hiryu offers considerable space and cruising capability in a manageable 42-foot package.
