1974 Grand Banks 36' _{(10.97 m)} 36 Classic

1974 Grand Banks 36 Classic Trawler

The Grand Banks 36 Classic has long been a favourite among Burrard Yacht Club members—and for good reason. The current owners are part of an active and knowledgeable community of GB36 enthusiasts who regularly share advice, compare upgrades, and, in friendly fashion, "keep up with the Joneses." This camaraderie has fostered an exceptional level of care and continuous improvement for this vessel.

This particular 1974 GB36 is a well-maintained and tastefully upgraded example of the model. From its warm, wood-trimmed interior to its dependable John Deere diesel engine, it is a timeless trawler ready for both adventure and comfort.
