“First Light” is a 1979 Grand Banks 42 Classic, #636. She’s a veteran of the Great Loop and more recently, a 4,000-mile cruise from the West Coast of Florida to New England and back. She has had many upgrades as well as all routine maintenance of systems, and is ready to go again.

If you’re looking at an older trawler and know what to look for, First Light checks the most important boxes:

  • Repowered with rebuilt 120-hp Ford Lehman diesels. Dependable workhorses with thousands of hours of life left.
  • Original teak decks professionally removed, reglassed and refinished. Old teak decks jeopardize the integrity of the deck core, are heavy and unsightly if not meticulously maintained.
  • Original mild steel fuel tanks, widely known to fail, replaced with aluminum tanks

Other upgrades include: 

  • New Raritan Lectra Scan Type 1 MSDs in both heads. (2021)
  • New AC electrical panel and associated wiring, including major DC equipment such as engine grounds, generator, and bow thruster at a cost of $30,000 plus. (2021)
  • Paint decks and flybridge. (2022)
  • Varnish transom and other exterior teak. (2022)
  • Peeled one layer of glass to remove small blisters, dried hull laminate and applied barrier coat at Yacht Solutions, Cortez, Florida. (2019)
  • Replaced two 8D house batteries. (2022)
  • Installed isolated battery for bow thruster. (2022)
  • Installed all new flybridge canvas and vinyl. (2021)

2012 

  • Customized galley with household-type refrigerator, pop-open cabinet doors, double sink and new fixtures, etc. LPG stove top and GE Profile microwave and convection oven.
  • Up-down blinds in saloon mounted inside valences.
  • New upholstery, custom berth covers, etc.
  • Custom fiberglass swim platform
  • Custom flybridge instrument box
  • Props and prop shafts replaced.
  • Crane to launch dinghy from aft cabintop 
  • New mast for electronics
