The Grand Banks 42 Motor yacht has been decades in the making.  The original Ken Smith design has been amended and updated with the practical input of her owners. The experience gained since the laying of the first GB 42 keel in 1966 is reflected in each one commissioned today. Her practical layout, study fiberglass construction, deep water design and long range capability all add up to a complete cruising vessel..  The Grand Banks semi-displacement hull design with fine entry forward, hard chines aft and a full keel has been proven on water around the world.  Single or twin diesel power will deliver economy at hull speed and provide higher cruising speeds when larger than the standard engines are chosen. Many power options are available. The exterior of the hull and deckhouse on the GB is smooth gelcoated fiberglass. Teak decking is laid over fiberglass on the main deck and flybridge. The bulwarks surrounding the wide main deck are capped with a sturdy teak safety rail providing movement from bow to stern for those on board. The Grand Banks 42; in production since the 60s, her hull was redesigned in the early 90s  giving the proven Grand Banks semi-displacement hull a longer waterline and an increased beam. Ideal for a couple with children or guests, she cruises economically at 9 knots, yet 17 knots is typical with optional engines. The Motor yacht provides increased living space over the Classic and Europa's, by offering a full-width stateroom aft and two staterooms forward with galley up option, or a galley down option with one forwards stateroom.  The aft sundeck expands the outdoor living area and provides room for storage.
