2002 Grand Banks 42 Classic

Alexander Marine are pleased to present the 2002 Grand Banks 42 Classic 'Grand Spirit' to the market.

Step aboard the Grand Banks 42 Classic, one of the most iconic trawler-style yachts ever built by American Marine. A vessel often imitated but rarely matched, the 42 Classic has earned its reputation as the ideal cruiser for a couple with occasional guests, offering timeless design, seaworthy performance, and superior craftsmanship.

Starting with the walkaround teak decks and spacious flybridge, you're immediately reminded of the solid teak artistry Grand Banks is known for. The design is clean, functional, and steeped in tradition, hallmarks of a boat built for serious passage making. Her semi-displacement hull features a fine entry forward, hard chines aft, a full keel, and excellent fuel efficiency, cruising effortlessly at 9–10 knots while burning just 25 litres per hour at 1500 RPM.

Step into the saloon, and you'll appreciate the uncluttered, thoughtfully organised interior. Everything has a place, clearly the result of a lifetime of boating experience. The teak joinery throughout is beautifully crafted, and there’s a comforting sense of order and purpose.

Below decks, the layout is ideally suited for extended cruising. Aft, the master stateroom offers a walkaround queen-size bed, with a private head to port and a separate shower to starboard. Forward, the guest cabin features V-berths, its own head, and separate shower, giving both owner and guests complete privacy.

‘Grand Spirit’, hull number 1483, the newest and most well-equipped Grand Banks 42 Classic currently available for sale in Australia. As one of the last of the 1,554 hulls produced before the model’s conclusion in 2004, she embodies the final evolution of Grand Banks’ most successful design.

Powered by twin Cummins 6BTA 220 HP engines with just 2200 hours, she delivers reliable and economic performance. Recent and significant upgrades have been completed under the care of her knowledgeable owner, ensuring she’s ready for many more years of dependable cruising.

To top it all off, she comes with an AB centre console RIB, launched and retrieved with ease via a hydraulic davit mounted on the swim platform, one of many smart features that make ‘Grand Spirit’ an exceptional choice for those seeking a true classic with modern usability.

Whether you’re planning extended voyages, looking for liveaboard comfort, or simply seeking a beautifully built and maintained cruiser, ‘Grand Spirit’ offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Grand Banks history, with all the right upgrades and the heritage to match.
