Broker Comments

The Grand Banks 42 Classic is one of the most successful and beloved trawler designs ever produced, and Tumbleweed — hull #1,349 of just 1,560 built — is among the rarest examples you will find. What sets her apart from the crowd is her factory-installed Wesmar hydraulic stabilizer package, an uncommon option on the 42 that transforms the already exceptional hull into a genuinely comfortable passage-maker. Loop-capable, bridge-friendly, and equally at home on the Chesapeake or the open coast, it’s easy to understand why the Grand Banks 42 has earned such a devoted following over the decades. TUMBLEWEED is easily seen resting in the tide-free, freshwater, covered sheds at Atlantic Yacht Basin, and ready for her next chapter. 


For the buyer who knows what they are looking for, this one is Worth a look.
