Last Updated: 2025-06-18

NOVENA CASA is hull number 1289 of the Wide-Body Series of Grand Banks 42 yachts. Around mid 1991 at hull number 1220 Grand Banks redesigned the yachts and added a foot of length and a foot of beam to the hulls. The result is a much more spacious yacht which feels noticeably larger inside. She features the most desirable layout with a full size centerline Queen Berth in the aft cabin owners stateroom, and a large convertible V-Berth in the guest cabin forward. Each stateroom has an ensuite head for privacy and convenience.

NOVENA CASA has a 3 Zone Central Air Conditioning and Heating System with remote compressor units making it quiet and efficient. A 12KW Northern Lights Generator provides ample power to run the system while away from the dock. Additionally, she features a Washer Dryer and a Village Marine Tech Fresh Water Maker.

The current owner had the teak decks removed and replaced with a complete layer of fiberglass applied and a nice non-skid deck surface with waterways.

For 50 years, Grand Banks has been producing some of the finest coastal cruising yachts around. They can be found in harbors the world over. The 42 Classic is the embodiment of the breed and an ideal yacht for cruising, unparalleled among seasoned skippers who are looking for an economical and dependable cruising yacht for coastal or inland waters. The venerable tri-cabin layout offers the perfect floor plan for the cruising couple with guests and children, providing complete privacy for each stateroom. The 360-degree view from the large salon windows provide the skipper with excellent visibility and flood the spacious spacious teak interior with warm light. The safe, wide walk-around side decks are perfect for deploying fenders and dock lines and the high sturdy bulwarks topped with stout stanchions and handrails make them safe for adults, children and pets. NOVENA CASA features stainless steel handrails which eliminate the need for varnishing saving significant money annually. Plentiful well-placed stainless handholds around the house provide additional safety for your crew.

With a long keel, hard chines, and a deep forefoot, the 42 Classic ranks among the most comfortable and seaworthy cruising yachts in her class.
