Some yacht designs are more than successful. They become benchmarks for an entire category of boats.

The Grand Banks 42 is one of them.

Designed by Ken Smith and first introduced in the mid-1960s, the 42 became one of the most recognisable and successful trawler yacht designs ever produced. With its purposeful profile, semi-displacement hull, deep keel and practical layout, it was designed around a simple idea: comfortable, capable cruising over long distances.

Over the decades, the concept evolved. The original wooden construction gave way to GRP, while refinements to the hull and interior improved comfort and space without losing the character that made the design so distinctive.

The range eventually expanded beyond the original Classic, with the Europa (open aft cockpit) and Motoryacht versions offering different interpretations of the same proven cruising philosophy.

The Grand Banks 42 Motoryacht took the concept a step further. Its extended aft cabin created more spacious owner's accommodation and a large usable aft deck, making it an appealing choice for those who valued time aboard as much as the journey itself.

Production continued into the early 2000s, and the enduring appeal of the 42 says much about the strength of the original design. Trends come and go; a well-conceived yacht can remain relevant for generations.

The Grand Banks Yachts 42 MY featured in this film is Lady A, a wonderful 2000 example currently offered for sale by us.

The Grand Banks name needs little introduction to those who know the trawler market. For decades, Grand Banks has been regarded as a benchmark for long-range cruising, and with more than 1,500 hulls built, the Grand Banks 42 is undoubtedly one of the most successful designs ever produced.

“Lady A” is a 2000 Grand Banks 42 Motor Yacht, standing out not only for her very good condition, but perhaps even more for her exceptionally well-documented history. She has had only two English owners from new, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to represent this characterful Grand Banks 42 for sale.

A proven cruising trawler yacht offering comfortable accommodation, generous outdoor spaces and the unmistakable character of a Grand Banks, equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising and longer passages.

In 1998, John and Caroline Charnley were looking for a yacht.
They wanted to sail the world together, just the two of them.
They couldn't find the yacht they were looking for.
So they decided to build it themselves.

They approached Ron Holland, one of the leading yacht designers of his generation, and asked him to create their ideal bluewater cruiser.
The result was the 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝟱𝟱.

What started as a personal project soon became something rather bigger.
Interest in the new yacht was immediate, and instead of building just a handful of boats and setting off cruising, the Charnleys found themselves creating a new British yacht builder.

𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛
At the time, the world of serious bluewater cruising was already populated by names such as Oyster, Hallberg-Rassy, Najad, Amel and Contest.
Discovery Yachts entered that same market, but with a distinctive idea.
The yacht should not merely be capable of crossing oceans.

It should be designed from the outset so that a couple could actually live and sail aboard them, safely, comfortably and without needing a large crew.

The raised deck saloon, interior navigation and watchkeeping position, carefully considered deck layout and short-handed sail handling all became part of the Discovery DNA.
It was a philosophy that would define the brand for decades.

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬
And this brings us to Chance Discovery. A 2004 Discovery 55 from the original Ron Holland design, with her interior created by superyacht designer Ken Freivokh.

What makes this particular Discovery especially interesting is the extensive refit she has undergone.
This was not a cosmetic exercise. The refit was comprehensive, with the yacht thoroughly gone through and significant investment made across her systems, equipment, interior and overall presentation.
In other words, much of the work that a new owner might otherwise face with a yacht of this age has already been done.

The result is a Discovery 55 that is not waiting to be turned into a bluewater cruiser. She already is one and she is ready to go.

Now offered for sale, Chance Discovery is ready to find a new owner and begin the next chapter of her story, wherever the next adventure may lead.
