About
Interior
It’s notably roomy for its size with a large open-plan salon designed for entertaining and luxurious staterooms down below. The standard interior design scheme has the feel of a traditional yacht club, due to the extensive use of dark hardwood veneer on the pre-preg carbon panels and composite structures that make up the hull sides, bulkheads and furniture. That said, with extensive scope for customisation and a wide choice of layout options, no two boats are the same.
Exterior
The Grand Banks 60 shares a distinctive, classic look with its iconic forebears. The tall superstructure is surrounded by chunky, traditional-style bulwarks and handrails. There’s built-in stowage for a tender on the flybridge, with its own dedicated crane.
Performance
This yacht offers a remarkable combination of 36-knot performance; an impressively comfortable ride in heavy weather, even at relatively high speed; a cruising range of 2,500 miles at 10 knots; excellent fuel economy of 29 gallons per hour at 20 knots; and good stability at slow speeds and at anchor.
From The Manufacturer
The Grand Banks 60 marries classically beautiful design with stunning performance and fuel economy. The GB60 uses infused carbon-fiber construction, resulting in a low center of gravity, inherent form stability at all speeds, and multiple advantages in strength, rigidity, weight and performance. With optional engines, the Grand Banks 60 can reach speeds up to 36 knots, and has a range of more than 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. The latest generation of Grand Banks redefines long range cruising, performing confidently and efficiently in even the roughest seas.
The Grand Banks 60 defies imagination when it comes to performance. Behind our radically updated build quality and stunning design is incredible power and efficiency you have to experience to believe. Our exceptional team of designers and craftsmen employ the latest technologies, materials and techniques to deliver enhanced power, hydrodynamics and seakeeping. The result? A 60-foot yacht that can run at 36 knots, cruises at 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, and uses an unbelievably efficient 39 gal/ hr of fuel at 20 knots.
The GB60 uses fully infused carbon fiber in the superstructure and other strategic locations for added strength and weight reduction. This allows for a much lower center of gravity that improves stability and seakeeping. Throughout the yacht, 100% vinylester resins and cross-linked Corecell™ foam core contribute to an ideal powerto-weight ratio and enhance durability. Finally, mechanical systems are designed for reliability and simplicity—two equally important objectives on a long range cruiser.
