Reviews

“…we opened up the throttle for just a bit of fun and discussed the idea of barefoot water skiing behind a Grand Banks—which would have been quite possible, we all agreed”
PassageMaker Reviews the GB60

“A hot refreshing shower, just like home, at 24 knots. Don’t try this on many boats”

More About the Grand Banks 60 Skylounge

“Looking at the new 60 from the side, you can see the traditional Grand Banks’ long, sleek sheer line, gently broken amidships, accenting the length of the boat. From the bow, the hull has a lot of flair, almost a Carolina flair, unusual for a Grand Banks but designed to keep the boat dry in a head sea. And from the stern, there’s enough tumblehome to keep the Down East crowd happy.

Since Weisman wants to continue fishing, this boat had some custom features designed for him. The helm station on the flybridge was moved aft, for example, and four feet were eliminated from the boat deck overhang so he can watch the action from up there. And the usual seating in the cockpit has been rearranged a bit to free up the transom for bait wells and fishing activity.

The 60’s lines are clean, flowing and contemporary. Standing on the bow in Newport, looking back, Richards said, “She’s pretty, isn’t she?” Yes, definitely, but the new boat also belongs in the classic Grand Banks family. “The Grand Banks brand is phenomenal, legendary,” Richards said. “We revived it. This still has lines of the 42, one of the most popular cruising boats ever. It has family ties.”
