Performance and efficiency: a true fast trawler
With a top speed of 30 knots and a fast cruising speed of 27 knots, the Grand Banks 62 boasts optimized fuel consumption. At 20 knots, its total fuel consumption is 140 liters/hour. It can cover 2,000 nautical miles at 10 knots with a 10% reserve. This efficiency is the result of a hull designed to limit drag and a lightweight composite construction.
V-Warp technology: optimized design
Since 2016, Grand Banks has been applying V-Warp technology to its models. This concept is based on a thin-entry hull, a balanced main beam and low trim at all speeds. The use of multi-axial carbon and glass fibers guarantees an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio, with a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 70% compared to traditional designs.
Motorization and configurations
The Grand Banks 62 is equipped as standard with two 900 hp Volvo D13 shaft drives, mated to Twin Disc MGX 5096A transmissions. Two engine options are available: a 1,000-hp Volvo D13 or a 900-hp Volvo IPS 1200S.
On-board comfort and interior fittings
This yacht offers a modular layout. The standard version features three cabins with en-suite bathrooms. The master cabin, located amidships, features a king-size bed and plenty of storage space.
The guest cabin to starboard gains in volume thanks to the length of the 62, offering a double berth and a single bed. A technical area includes a washing machine and dryer. The main deck boasts large windows for natural light and efficient ventilation.
An alternative between Flybridge and Skylounge
Two versions are available: Flybridge and Skylounge. The Skylounge version, very popular on the Grand Banks 85, offers a closed wheelhouse for enhanced comfort when sailing.
Grand Banks: a benchmark in ocean cruising
Since 1956, Grand Banks has established itself as a major player in motor yachting. After pioneering the trawler concept with the GB36 in 1965, the shipyard introduced the Eastbay range in 1993. Today, its strategy is based on innovation and the reduction of its carbon footprint, with models combining autonomy and efficiency.
