1B: General Description
of this Vessel
1B1: Exterior
Flybridge, Cockpit, Side &
Forward Decks
The Grand Banks 42’ Classic is a traditional yacht
design, with fiberglass hull, cabin, and flybridge
structures, teak swim step, decks, rails, and gunwhale
caps, and stainless steel welded fittings and handrails.
The window frames are of painted wood with sliding glass
panes, while the windshield frame is of the same material
with hardware that allows for adjustable center-opening
for ventilation.
Of particular note are the easy walk-around decks,
enabling safe, secure passage about the boat by
passengers and crew. A roomy cockpit section with a
storage lazarette beneath is useful for fishing and dinghy
handling it is launched. A swim shower outlet is provided
in the cockpit.
On the side decks are the two fuel fills, one port-side and
the other starboard. A holding tank pump-out deck fitting is to starboard. The water tank fills are in the lazarette
on each of the three tanks. Fresh and salt water faucets are at the bow.
Forward on the bow deck is the anchor windlass, with foot switches, allowing chain movement both “up” and
“down” electrically. The anchor is retracted into the bow pulpit which hangs out over the bow to give better
chain clearance from the hull than otherwise possible. The pulpit is strong and braced, easily supporting not
only the anchor during hauling but also an attending crew member if necessary. After passing over the winch,
the chain goes below decks via a hawse pipe in the foredeck. Sea and fresh water faucets are provided.
The lazarette, hatches open. Side deck walk-around.
The forward deck has a storage box with convenient
fender holders on each side. Note the ventilation hatch
for the forward stateroom and hailer loudspeaker horn.
At the bow is the anchor windlass and bow pulpit,
with ashore power inlet below it, windlass foot switches
below them,and fresh- (port) and salt- (stbd) water
washdown faucets with hoses on each side.
