Why Grand Banks Could Be the Smartest Long-Range Yacht on the Market

Take a look at the NEW Yachts For Sale Blog website and sign up to the free newsletter at: www.yachtsforsaleblog.com Grand Banks is one of those yacht brands that serious cruisers seem to know very well, even if it does not always dominate the headlines in the way that some European builders do. In this video, I take a closer look at what makes Grand Banks so interesting, from its strong ocean-going reputation and loyal following, to the engineering philosophy that sits behind the brand. Built in Malaysia and produced largely in-house, these yachts have developed a name for quality, efficiency and genuine long-range capability. A big part of that story is Mark Richards, the man behind the brand’s modern direction. With a background at the very top level of competitive sailing, his obsession with efficiency, weight, drag and fuel burn has shaped the way these yachts are designed and built. It is a very different mindset from the usual motor yacht approach, and it has led to some genuinely fascinating results. We also look at the thinking behind Grand Banks’ patented V-Warp Technology, the brand’s lightweight monocoque construction, and why so many experienced owners continue to come back for more. When a brand attracts that level of repeat business, it tells you a lot. So the big question is this: does truly affordable long-range cruising actually exist, or is that just wishful thinking? Grand Banks may not be trying to win a beauty contest, but there is a strong argument that they are getting a lot of the things that really matter absolutely right.
