Grand Banks Yachts Adopts ABYC Standards for Boat Measurement
Changes, effective immediately, begin with three new models
SEATTLE – June 14, 2006 – Grand Banks Yachts today announced the company’s formal adoption of American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards for boat measurement – and, subsequently, as the basis for naming new models in Grand Banks’ lineup.As a result, the company will rename three newer models to conform to the ABYC standard, effective immediately. The new Grand Banks 44 Heritage, both EU and CL models, have been renamed retroactively to hull number one; the two boats will now be known as the Grand Banks 47 Heritage, or 47EU and 47CL, respectively. These newer Heritage models have a length overall of 46'8", including the molded-in swim platform.
The company is also renaming the Grand Banks 70 Aleutian CP to become the 72 Aleutian RP. The 72's model designator will also change to RP ( for "Raised Pilothouse"), which better reflects the true style of the yacht.
