The Brand banks 32 is a classic trawler yacht. Virtually unchanged in spirit throughout production since the early "woody" days in Hong Kong's Junk Bay over 45 years ago, the 32 has long been valued for her economy underway, ease of operation and her perfect size for a couple or small family, whether new to boating or experienced mariners. The 32 is a lovely, practical and "economical diesel cruiser" to use GB's own words. Sold by NWExplorations. Hull 722, Slow Dance, is a tenderly-loved fiberglass 32 Grand Banks and one of the few currently available in the Pacific Northwest. Having received extensive electronics, systems and maintenance updates in 2010-2011, she is ready to head north and continue her explorations. Her stout hard-chined semi-displacement hull design and well-protected running gear give her a seaworthiness that has built the Grand Banks reputation the world over. Inside, the spacious windows, warm teak joinery for which GB is so respected and diesel heater coddle you year-round in cozy comfort as your dinner simmers on the propane stove. Enjoy that fresh catch with a few friends around the drop-leaf dining table in the Salon or in the glow of a sunset in that spacious cockpit or on the flybridge. Cap off the evening with your feet propped on the cockpit's rail as you sip a "sundowner", before retiring to the comfortable forward berth. After a peaceful night on the hook, rouse her efficient Lehman diesel (1.8-2.5 gph fuel consumption) in the immaculate engine room and take command of her well-equipped helm to venture out for another day of exploring. With a 32, it doesn't get any easier or more relaxing.

📍If Gypsea Explorer were a human, her sails would be the arms that catch the wind, carrying us through the water. 💨🌊 ✅ We have three sails on our Sceptre 41; a Mainsail, a gib and an asymmetrical spinnaker. They all have different and important functions. 😱 When we went sailing on a little test ride, the Mainsail ripped, so we had to do a quick repair. The fantastic Kelly at Ullman Sails, made us a new Mainsail, and inspected our other sails. The Gib was sent to Bainbridge Island for a good scrubbing.
