“Hiryu” 1982 Grand Banks 42 Europa Trawler Yacht for Sale in Singapore

Classic Grand Banks Europa with Extensive 2023 Renovation

Hiryu is a 1982 Grand Banks 42 Europa, combining the distinctive lines and traditional craftsmanship of a classic Grand Banks with substantial renovation work completed in 2023.

The Grand Banks 42 has earned a long-standing reputation as a capable displacement cruiser, and the Europa configuration adds a particularly practical layout with protected side decks, comfortable interior living space and a flybridge above.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3116TA 350HP diesel engines, Hiryu is equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising, extended passages or comfortable weekends aboard. Her generous 2,000-litre fuel capacity, twin-engine installation and approximately 8-knot cruising speed make her particularly well suited to owners interested in exploring beyond Singapore.

Following the 2023 renovation, the exterior was completely repainted, interior timberwork revarnished and new upholstery installed in both the saloon and flybridge. There remain several exterior cosmetic items for a future owner to address, particularly varnishing of the external timber rails and transom.

Twin Caterpillar Diesel Power

Hiryu is powered by twin Caterpillar 3116TA turbocharged diesel engines, producing 350HP each.

Engine hours are currently approximately 2,630 hours, providing a relatively moderate usage profile for a yacht of this age.

Her propulsion and cruising specifications include:

• Twin Caterpillar 3116TA diesel engines
• 350HP per engine
• Approximately 2,630 engine hours
• Approximately 8-knot cruising speed
• Approximately 14-knot maximum speed
• 2,000-litre fuel capacity
• 500-litre freshwater capacity

The last recorded engine service in the information provided was completed in December 2023.

Two-Cabin Accommodation

Below deck, Hiryu provides practical accommodation for extended weekends and longer periods aboard.

The accommodation comprises two cabins with three fixed berths, including a double berth and a separate single berth, together with a bathroom equipped with a marine toilet.

Her interior retains much of the warm timber character associated with classic Grand Banks yachts, with the woodwork revarnished as part of the 2023 renovation.

The main saloon provides a comfortable social and dining space with good visibility through the surrounding windows, while air-conditioning makes the yacht practical for year-round use in Southeast Asia.

Interior equipment includes:

• Two cabins
• Three fixed berths
• Marine head
• Air-conditioning
• Refrigerator
• Microwave
• Television
• Battery charger

Renovated in 2023

A significant programme of cosmetic refurbishment was undertaken in 2023, refreshing the yacht while retaining the traditional character that makes older Grand Banks yachts so distinctive.

Works included:

• Complete exterior repaint, including hull and topsides
• Interior timberwork revarnished
• Repairs and touch-ups to sections of external woodwork
• Repairs to timber rails
• New saloon upholstery
• New flybridge upholstery

The result is a classic 42-foot Grand Banks that has already received considerable investment in its presentation.

There are still areas for the next owner to improve. The transom requires further varnishing, the exterior timber rails would benefit from repainting or revarnishing, and a new Bimini is required.

These items are disclosed so prospective buyers can properly understand the yacht’s present condition rather than presenting a 1982 vessel as something it is not.

Flybridge & Europa Layout

The Grand Banks Europa design is particularly appealing in tropical climates.

Wide, covered side decks provide sheltered movement between the cockpit and foredeck, while the flybridge creates a second helm and outdoor social area above the main accommodation.

New flybridge upholstery was installed during the renovation, creating a comfortable area from which to operate the yacht or relax while underway.

The large aft cockpit and practical deck arrangement provide useful outdoor space for entertaining, fishing, diving or simply relaxing at anchor.

Navigation & Onboard Systems

Hiryu carries the navigation and onboard equipment required for practical cruising, including:

• GPS
• Radar
• Depth sounder
• Autopilot
• VHF radio
• Compass
• Generator
• Air-conditioning
• Manual bilge pump
• Battery charger

Generator hours are currently approximately 5,950 hours based on the latest information provided. The last recorded generator service was completed in December 2023.

A Classic Cruising Yacht with Character

A Grand Banks of this generation will appeal to a different buyer from a modern production motor yacht.

Hiryu offers traditional styling, substantial fibreglass construction, twin Caterpillar diesel power, generous tankage and a layout designed around comfortable cruising rather than maximum interior volume.

The extensive work completed in 2023 has refreshed many of her cosmetic areas, while the remaining exterior timber and Bimini work gives the next owner scope to continue improving the yacht to their preferred standard.

For buyers looking for a classic Grand Banks 42 Europa in Singapore, Hiryu offers considerable space and cruising capability in a manageable 42-foot package.
