1B: General Description of this Vessel
1B1: Exterior
Flybridge, Cockpit, Side &
Forward Decks
The Grand Banks 49' Classic is a
traditional yacht design, with fiberglass
hull, cabin, and flybridge structures, a
teak swim step, teak decks, stainless
rails, and gunwale caps, and stainless
steel welded fittings and handrails. Of
particular note are the easy walk-around
decks, enabling safe, secure passage
about the boat by the crew. There is a
roomy cockpit section with ample storage in
the lazarette beneath, and on the side decks
are the two fuel fills, the three water tank fills,
and the two waste pumpout locations.
The roomy aft cockpit...
...has lazarette hatches for
access to commodious storage.
over the winch, the chain goes below decks into the chain locker.
There are shore power connections at the stern and bow with adjacent fuse holders. The shore
power switch in the electric panel selects these. (When this cable is to be disconnected, the switch
should first be turned to the OFF position to avoid arcing, which could damage the plug contacts.) The
boat has both a 30 amp cable(yellow), which you'll use most often, and a 50 amp cable(black). Both
are 50 feet in length.
Forward on the
bow deck is the
anchor windlass with
foot switches
allowing chain
movement both "up"
and "down"
electrically. The
anchor is retracted into
the bow pulpit, which
hangs out over the bow
to give good chain
clearance from the hull;
this pulpit is strong and
braced, easily
supporting not only the
anchor during hauling,
but also an attending
crew member if
necessary. After passing
