Grand Banks

36 Sedan

$69,900 CAD

Vancouver, BC

Sold
Malaika is a true classic within the classic style. This Sedan model is only one of six made. Very rare, and very unique, in excellent shape, even award winning in a classic boat show. Sitting at a public dock there is no way one could even tell this hull and superstructure is wood. Any future owner can also buy the boathouse it has been in for the last several years or if not it still comes with a full canvas winter cover.  The sedan model layout is a 32 but only larger, and is the forerunner to the Europa design. 1973 was the transition year from wood to fibreglass, so this is one of the last wooden Grand Banks made.  This boat is a true jewel and must be seen to believe.  Great opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy our coast.
