Grand Banks Yachts presents the project of the 62, a new model which continues to solidify the near seventy-year history of designing and building pioneering long-distance explorer yachts that combine both speed and range. Like all Grand Banks models, the 62 evolved from the company’s relentless quest to build a better explorer yacht, with the new project coming as an evolution of the 60 model which debuted the Mark Richards designed era of models with V-warp technology hull in 2017. The Grand Banks 62 is to be standard powered by twin Volvo 900hp with line shaft propulsion for a top speed up to 30 knots. Alternatively the same engines can be offered with IPS pod drives for an extra one knot of speed but less range at 27 knots, and Grand Banks also offering the 1000hp Volvo engines as optional. In both line shafts and pods propulsion set the Grand Banks 62 engines are mounted at midships. If adventures lead you farther over the horizon, the 62 can deliver a range of 2,000 nautical miles with 10-percent reserve at ten knots. At twenty knots, total fuel burn will average 120 liters-per-hour representing market leading performance when compared to other similar sized explorer yachts, thanks to the running attitude of the V-Warp® Technology hull angle remains at about six degrees, keeping the maximum amount of waterline in the water for added efficiency and speed. The Grand Banks 62 is to offer a three double guest cabins layout, with the owners stateroom being located in between the fore VIP suite and the three berth midships cabin. The living is all located on the main deck with the Grand Banks 62 coming with an astern galley layout. A 62 Skylounge version which encloses the helm up top, with an L-shaped dinette and a day head to starboard is also to be available.
