TUMBLEWEED is a well-appointed stabilized Grand Banks 42 Classic that presents beautifully throughout, with the traditional teak and quality finishes the marque is known for. She boards easily from either port or starboard boarding gates onto full walk-around teak decks.
Exterior & Flybridge -The elevated sun deck aft is equipped with dinghy chocks, a rail-mounted grill, and a boom with electric winch. Four steps lead up to the flybridge, where the top deck features a built-in teak table with four folding teak chairs and two additional folding cocktail tables. Molded bench seating is fitted both port and starboard, and extra-wide molded helm bench is starboard with separate mate's bench to port. The flybridge has a bimini with matching canvas helm cover in blue. The aft of the vessel features an opening gate with transom-mounted steps to teak swim platform with a collapsing swim ladder — a traditional and practical aft access arrangement well suited to the Grand Banks design.
Pilothouse / Helm Boarding through the starboard cabin door, the helm station features a captain's bench seat with folding footrest. The helm is well-equipped with a bow thruster, autopilot, and a multifunction display. Three-panel windshield with sunbrella screens and adjustable blinds throughout provide excellent visibility and light control.

Storage is abundant with cabinetry above the galley, a small pantry above the freezer, storage beneath the microwave, and an additional locker just forward of the range.
Salon The salon is positioned aft of the helm and is bright and comfortable. It features a large L-shaped settee to starboard with a removable folding leaves table. A bulkhead-mounted brass clock and barometer add a classic touch. A separate reclining chair is appointed to port. A built-in entertainment console houses a Bose stereo and Alpine radio with CD changer. A built-in bar with glassware storage is neatly tucked between the helm bench and settee. The helm bench offers three drawers and compartment storage on both the port and starboard sides.

To starboard is a wet head with a Vacu-flush toilet, sink, built-in storage, a large mirror, and a custom Norman blind on an opening screened window.
