1980 Grand Banks 42 Europa13m

EMERALD is a quintessentially bespoke example of the classic Grand Banks 42' Europa.

Hard to find model, this Grand Banks Europa is special because of its updates and professional maintenance. Current (very experienced yachtsman) owner has also kept an open checkbook for her, and it shows. Certainly one of the nicest Grand Banks available from this classic era.

Updated Twin 6BTS.9M Cummins were updated and installed in 2004 (current 624hrs) along with the 9kw Onan Generator, and more recent $30K invested in upgraded complete FURUNO electronics package (with bridge and lower helm redundancy, AIS, Camera), recent bottom painting+service, new boot stripe, etc. -- this beautiful traditional yacht shows pride of ownership as a true gentleman's yacht. Over $75K in updates in the last couple years.

Huge flybridge area with the extended hardtop aft which offers even more unique space for relaxation and entertaining.

Two cabin layout with a large single head and separated shower area. Crew quarters also has a recessed/pull-out top bunk.

Full U-shaped galley port side opposite starboard lower helm area. Norcold refrigerator with very lightly used stove/oven.

Traditional Grand Banks salon layout, with large wrap-around windows offering wonderful light and ventilation. Window slides with new felt recently updated.

Full walk-around decks, and a substantial cockpit deck area for deck chairs and easy fishing.

Newer full custom designed canvas, including the flybridge enclosure, Macralon panels, side deck rail covers, transom cover, and new mesh covers for all salon windows and companionway doors. New custom made interior curtains. New helm seat. New bridge windshield.

Freshly varnished and waxed, and new interior paint.

New custom swim step fabricated and installed in 2021.

New dedicated freezer below cockpit deck.

This is a gorgeous pedigreed boat that has been lovingly cared for by all her previous custodians, and will sure to be a continued joy for her next owner. She is a frequent visitor to Catalina and San Clemente Islands.

The seller is buying property out of country, and regretfully waving goodbye to m/v "EMERALD".
