Grand Banks 36 Classic
After many years of sailing on our Grand Banks 36 Classic, we wish to upgrade to a larger size.
All this time, it has given us complete satisfaction, whether in terms of its seaworthiness, on-board comfort or its exceptional frugality (9l/h for both engines while cruising!).
Over the years, we have taken great care to maintain it meticulously. Propeller shafts, cooling system, gearboxes, stuffing boxes... almost everything has been reviewed or replaced.
We are die-hard fans of the Grand Banks universe, and to top it off, we have naturally taken care to preserve all the original interior furniture.
Technical Specifications
Our Grand Banks 36 Classic is equipped with two FORD LEHMAN engines of 135 horsepower each, installed in 1992, giving it power and reliability while consuming very little.
The boat is 11.36 meters long and 3.85 meters wide, with a draft of 1.00 meter, making it ideal for navigating in shallow waters.
It has two cabins and two bathrooms, offering a comfortable living space.
