Overview
About this vessel
NANTUCKET represents an opportunity to own one of the most enduring and respected cruising yachts ever built — the Grand Banks 42 Classic — now offered at a newly reduced price.
With only three owners since new, NANTUCKET reflects the kind of long-term stewardship buyers hope to find in a classic Grand Banks. She combines traditional Grand Banks craftsmanship, a beautifully preserved teak interior, economical twin-diesel power, and an impressive list of recent maintenance and improvements.
Her current owner has invested substantially in keeping NANTUCKET mechanically sound, comfortable, and ready to cruise. Recent work includes bottom paint, new thru-hulls, new cutlass bearings, replacement of all sanitation hoses, a rebuilt VacuFlush system, extensive deck maintenance, and freshly varnished exterior brightwork.
Powered by twin Cummins 5.9L 6BT diesels, NANTUCKET offers the efficiency, redundancy, and dependable cruising characteristics that have made the Grand Banks 42 a favorite among experienced boaters.
With comfortable accommodations for extended cruising, upper and lower helm stations, diesel heat, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and extensive cruising equipment, NANTUCKET is exceptionally well suited for the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco Bay, the California coast, or extended cruising.
Accommodations
The Grand Banks 42 Classic earned its reputation in part because of an exceptionally practical two-stateroom, two-head cruising layout. The spacious aft owner's stateroom features an island berth, while the forward guest stateroom has V-berths. Two heads include separate shower compartments, with abundant storage throughout and beautiful Grand Banks teak joinery, traditional parquet sole, and excellent natural light and ventilation.
Salon
Large windows provide outstanding visibility and create a bright, comfortable living area while retaining the warmth of the classic Grand Banks teak interior. The spacious L-shaped settee faces a teak dining table, with lower helm station, large opening windows, and extensive teak cabinetry throughout.
Galley
The galley is thoughtfully arranged for both weekend entertaining and extended cruising, featuring three-burner electric cooktop, oven, under-counter and separate freezer, microwave oven, large stainless-steel sink with pull-out faucet, formica countertops with teak edging, pull-out cutting board, fold-out liquor cabinet and serving area, and generous cabinet and drawer storage.
Why NANTUCKET
There is a reason the Grand Banks 42 Classic remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after cruising yachts of its generation. Its combination of seaworthy design, manageable size, economical operation, excellent visibility and genuine liveaboard comfort is difficult to duplicate.
What makes NANTUCKET particularly appealing is that much of the less glamorous — but very important — ownership work has already been addressed: bottom, thru-hulls, cutlass bearings, sanitation system, deck maintenance and brightwork.
For the buyer looking for a Grand Banks 42 Classic that has been actively cared for rather than simply put on the market, NANTUCKET deserves serious consideration.
