Hull 85-003

Overview Continued...

Design and Engineering

From the renowned naval architects of Norman R Wright and Sons the hull is designed to be the most efficient and most beautiful semi-displacement hull on the water. 

Building on their experience we have made extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD software to fine tune the hull design to ensure it is absolutely the most efficient it can be and have the best possible behavioural characteristics in all sea states.

Composite engineers have designed the optimum strength/weight ratio of the structure, so we retain the traditional robust construction you would expect from Fleming – but it is achieved with less weight and is all verified by DNV.

The hull design and engineering will result in the best fuel economy and range of any semi displacement boat in the world. 

The absolute highest specification of equipment available - as standard – installed the Fleming way, with redundancy and access for maintenance in mind.

Two versions

Open air – for those who prefer the wind in their hair, the traditional style Fleming open flybridge.

Enclosed – The pilothouse is moved to the upper deck where it is fully enclosed and still fully outfitted like a Fleming pilothouse should be. Down below more space is opened up for flexible dining and entertaining.

Style 

Exterior - The lines and the look are unmistakably classic Fleming. Furthermore the exterior details have been refined and simplified to create a cleaner look with flush and hidden hardware throughout.

Interior – Various options from traditional to contemporary, but always elegant, warm, comfortable and practical. Double glazing as standard throughout keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Deck Spaces

Foredeck – Hydraulic and electric Maxwell windlasses, Ultra anchors and s/s chain. Huge storage lockers for all shapes and sizes of gear. Fold away seating alcove.

Flybridge deck – Everything you need for cruising, entertaining and relaxing as well as space for a 17 foot tender that can be launched on either port or stbd sides via the 2000lb crane.

Aft deck – Raised and sheltered seating and dining for 10 with amenities you need and sheltered gul-wing door access to engine room and crew’s quarters below.

Cockpit – Easy access, ample storage for all the dive gear and fishing equipment you may need. Warping winches to help take the load off

Swim platform – expansive enough for all uses and hydraulic lowering option makes it easy for additional tender or PWC storage and launching. 

Easy boarding – Multiple side boarding gates make accessibility from fixed or floating docks easy and safe for all.

The design of Grand Banks Yachts is a beautiful fusion of classic elegance and modern innovation, firmly anchored in a rich, iconic maritime heritage. Originally renowned for crafting wooden vessels, Grand Banks has evolved over the years to incorporate cutting-edge construction techniques while remaining true to the timeless design elements of the traditional Grand Banks trawler.

GB85 EXTERIOR

The classic silhouette of the Grand Banks, complemented by a gracefully curved sheer line and an innovative hull design and construction process, provides a sophisticated profile that enhances aesthetics while also ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Expansive decks offer ample space for relaxation and entertaining, featuring wide side decks with high bulwarks and handholds, as well as an extended boat deck that shelters the aft deck from the elements. Careful attention to detail in the craftsmanship showcases the yacht's luxurious appeal, exemplifying the perfect blend of timeless elegance and functionality.

GB85 INTERIOR

Our interiors are a reminder that timeless elegance, indulgent luxury, and practical seamanship can all co-exist equally. The handcrafted wood finishes created by artisans, fine fabrics and leathers sewn by our own in-house upholstery team, and custom fit and finish to each owner's desires all combine to create a yacht that cannot be achieved by any other builder. Designed and engineered for enhanced rigidity by fusing the bulkheads and fixed furniture with the hull, our yachts feature meticulously planned internal layouts during the early design stages. This allows for flexibility in galley placement and stateroom configurations to optimize space utilization and storage. Our craftsmen take great care to ensure that every inch of the yacht is thoughtfully designed to enhance your enjoyment onboard.

WHAT OWNERS SAY ABOUT GRAND BANKS YACHTS

““We love our overnight trips. Recently we came down from Yamba to Sydney, about 300 nautical miles and, although we sat on 24 knots the whole way, we were only burning 100 litres (26 gallons) of fuel an hour!!! The EB44 is the best thing we’ve done for the family… we call it the ‘family wagon’”

MATT SPENCER , EASTBAY 44 OWNER

“This is my 4th Grand Banks and I’ve always liked them – they’re sea-kindly, fast and fuel efficient. But the stuff Mark Richards has done has made them even better. He’s raised the game and they’re now next generation in terms of design. My wife and I love cruising on it – each August we live onboard for 30-40 days. She feels very safe as it has a really nice ride. And we love the style and the lines.”

TOM WHIDDEN , GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER AND 8 TIMES AMERICA’S CUP PRO SAILOR.

“I was in Mexico when COVID hit and had to get home. I had an 1,100nm trip, uphill (upwind & up current) and, let me tell you, the boat did better than I did! I had to keep going day and night. Almost no boat of this size can go from Puerto Vallarta to San Diego non-stop. And thanks to the hull shape and lightweight carbon superstructure, it’s amazingly efficient.”

GARY WEISMAN , GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER

“The range of the boat had huge appeal. Because of the V-Warp® Technology hull that slips so easily through the water, the weight reduction of the carbon fibre and the new Volvo engines, we could simply go further with less stops. Of course, it saves money but the real plus is the convenience. At 10 knots I can travel for over 2000 nautical miles without refuelling. As a sailor, I don’t like to stop once I get going!”

JOHN BACON , GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER
