The American Grand Banks 32 RC Blue (Grand Banks Series) — an icon first introduced in 1965 — is rendered here as a 36-inch handcrafted plank-on-frame model. This commission reproduces the raised-counter 32-foot cruising trawler with faithful hull lines and proportionate detailing, celebrating a vessel renowned for seaworthiness and timeless design.
Each model is handbuilt using premium-grade Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, finished with hand-applied paint and varnish. Craftsmanship is the priority: traditional joinery, precise deck and structural detailing, and exacting surface finishes ensure a museum-quality objet d'art built to last.
