Remarks
The Grand Banks 42 Motor Yacht is a celebrated icon in the cruising world, admired for its timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and comfortable performance. Since the early 1960s, Grand Banks has built a legacy of producing high-quality vessels designed for long-range cruising and liveaboard luxury.
All is Fair showcases the classic trawler-style profile that has made Grand Banks famous. With elegant sheer lines, a distinctive bow, and practical seaworthiness, she carries the hallmarks of this renowned marque. Measuring 47'5" (14.45m) in length overall with a 4'2" (1.27m) draft, she's ideally suited for exploring Australia's waterways. Her proportions strike the perfect balance between interior volume and ease of handling, while her shallow draft opens up anchorages in stunning, sheltered locations.
Step aboard All is Fair and you'll immediately feel her timeless charm. The interior has been carefully maintained, blending rich maritime tradition with modern comforts. The main saloon is spacious, bright, and inviting -- large windows flood the room with natural light, illuminating the beautifully varnished teak throughout.
A comfortable L-shaped Ultra-leather settee with an expandable teak dining table to starboard, and additional seating to port, create a welcoming space for meals, relaxation, or simply enjoying the views. In the evenings, the saloon takes on a warm ambiance, enhanced by a traditional brass lamp with nautical touches, complemented by tasteful furnishings that highlight the yacht's character.
Forward, the L-shaped galley is positioned portside, seamlessly integrated into the saloon for effortless entertaining. Corian benchtops and classic teak cabinetry give it a fresh yet traditional look. The galley is fitted with premium appliances, including a four-burner Miele electric cooktop and oven, a 137L Eutectic fridge, a matching freezer, and generous storage solutions -- all designed to make life onboard as practical as it is enjoyable.
Opposite the galley, the lower helm station features a plush Ultra-leather bench and the signature Grand Banks teak wheel. Visibility is excellent, and the layout is designed for safe and efficient navigation, with Raymarine HybridTouch MFD 12", VHF, i70 Multifunction displays, autopilot, bow thruster control, and more. A side door offers the skipper easy access to the wide side decks.
Accommodation is equally impressive. All is Fair features a two-cabin layout, each with ensuite facilities. The master suite aft includes a queen island bed, ample storage, and large portholes that fill the room with natural light. A built-in desk and seating provide space for an onboard office if required. The forward guest suite offers a comfortable double berth, private ensuite, and a large overhead hatch, perfect for stargazing at anchor.
Wide teak side decks lead aft to the spacious cockpit and up to the flybridge. The flybridge mirrors the lower helm station's controls and provides panoramic views -- an ideal spot for entertaining or passagemaking. Dual helm seats, a protective bimini, ample storage, and an L-shaped settee with a table create another social hub onboard, capable of hosting up to 10 guests across the flybridge and aft deck. A 3.35m AB AL11 RIB with an 18hp Tohatsu outboard is carried on davits at the stern.
Below, the engine room is easily accessed via the saloon. Twin Cummins 6BTA5.9-M3 engines (330hp each) deliver a top speed of 16 knots, though All is Fair performs best at a comfortable and efficient 10-12 knots. A Side-Power bow thruster ensures confident maneuverability in marinas. The engine room also houses a Stella watermaker, Onan 7kW generator, and Marine Air conditioning -- welcome features for extended cruising in warm climates.
All is Fair represents an outstanding opportunity to own a Grand Banks of distinction -- a yacht that combines comfort, reliability, and timeless style. She's perfectly suited for couples or families seeking adventure on the water with all the elegance of a true classic.
