All about Grand Banks 36 model
Built in Hong Kong by American Marine, Grand Banks are diesel-powered cruisers that have basically become known as Trawlers, just as refrigerators have become known as fridges, and colts as revolvers... Some are occasionally surprised to learn about American Marine's Hong Kong roots!
However, the entire shipbuilding process in China was still carried out entirely by hand in the mid-1960s. There was a plethora of skilled labour just waiting to be put to good use. A trawler is a motorboat designed for long-distance cruising, built to travel at average cruising speeds, yet capable of coping with a certain amount of bad weather.
What is a Grand Banks 36?
Take the traditional outline of a 1940s US East Coast fishing boat, the high bow, diesel engine, glazed pilothouse, clinker-built hull and cargo boom, add to this two cabins, a full galley, two full bathrooms, and masses of storage, and you have the ideal Trawler: Grand Banks 36!
Among those produced by American Marine, the Grand Banks 36 was the biggest hitter with 1200 units produced between 1965 and 1998. Grand Banks 36, or GB36 among friends, was first built in wood, which is where its renowned clinker-built hull originated from. The shipyard, which is now based in Singapore, has been building all its structures in resin and fibreglass composite since the mid-1970s.
Incorporating the captivating remnants of its utilitarian origins, the GB36 has a cargo boom - a highly practical addition for launching a dinghy, and a cockpit on the roof, ancestor of the flybridge.
