Hi everyone:
I am the proud owner of a 1981 Grand Banks Classic trawler which I purchased in October of last year. I am in the process of restoring her to her former glory. Her teak was in desperate need of TLC which I am attending to on an almost daily basis. The transom, name and hailing port boards as well as the main deck rails are finished. She is looking better each day. I have a long way to go, but that was the reason for buying her - a project that I have totally embraced. I know the definition of a boat - Break Out Another Thousand..............it's a boat......things happen. Hope I'll be able to take care of all that stuff.

Sue,

Glad to see a gal with spunk and determination tackle a GB. It takes more time than money, just realize it was built one piece at a time and must be restored that way. Welcome to CF and please post some current photos.

Hey, just saw you are from HHI.. That's my original hometown..And actually my father owned a Grand Banks that he used during his trip to the Keys and back.. Doubt it's the one you are working on... I still get to the island since my mom lives down there..just joined this forum .. My interest is to buy a Catamaran and spend a few years in the Caribbean.. Few more years to work though...
