Traditional beauty and the most sophisticated of technological amenities were two of the winning attributes that made the Gand Banks 42 Classic.

Without a doubt, Grand Banks' consistent commitment to evolutionary design kept this model at the top of the charts in terms of dependability and resale value.

One look at the 42 Classic's burnished teak-dominated exterior -- one step aboard its golden teak interior-- and the exceptional care with which this yacht was constructed was evident.

The built-in comfort and convenience of the Grand Banks 42 Classic added to its reputation. Owners touted its flexible, custom layouts as a big plus when it came to choosing between a "singular living" or an "entertaining" lifestyle. For trips both short and long, most found its roomy sleeping, bathing, and galley accommodations a treat. Even the engine room was roomy enough for all the essentials, plus a few "big trip" extras.

Anyway you look at it, the 42 Classic was an exceptional craft that has held its value and delivered top performance.
