Twin Cummins Diesels - Extensive Recent Maintenance - Turn-Key Cruising
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 of $179,000.
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 210 HP diesels with approximately 2,295 hours, NANTUCKET offers the efficiency, redundancy, and dependable cruising characteristics that have made the Grand Banks 42 a favorite among experienced boaters.
With 600 gallons of fuel capacity, comfortable accommodations for extended cruising, upper and lower helm stations, diesel heat, reverse-cycle air conditioning, an 8kW generator, inverter, RIB tender and extensive cruising equipment, NANTUCKET is exceptionally well suited for the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco Bay, the California coast, or extended cruising.

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.
