Osprey is a beautiful example of the Legendary Grand Banks 42 Classic. Her brightwork is in impeccable condition (redone in 2026) and her interior shows pride of ownership with re-upholstered, colour coordinated settees, cabin mattress and curtains. All the beautiful rich teak joinery is in excellent condition. She is in well above average condition for a vessel of this age. She was kept in a boat house for most of her life with the previous owners and currently has a full winter cover to keep her protected during winter.
The current owner installed a bow thruster and the engines are professionally maintained by Raven Marine. Osprey is the standard GB42 tri-cabin layout with the owners cabin aft and guest cabin forward, each with an en-suite head. The salon is extremely bright and inviting featuring an L-shaped settee and the galley is well equipped including excellent refrigeration and freezer space.
This vessel is ready for her new owners with little to no deferred maintenance.
