Welcome!
I remember seeing one or two Menorquin boats at the Miami boat show in the mid to late 1990s they were very "fancy" versions with lots of wood trim the "fantail" at the stern was new to me. It was a move to market them in the US I don't know if they succeeded.
In the picture in post 26 it shows a point like a tiny "bulbous bow" what would the purpose of that be?
The boat in post 22 looks very nice, how long is it?
Good luck with your search! Please keep us informed.

Yes, bulbous bow. Supposed to increasing speed and fuel efficiency (very small size, marketing argument ?), it was quickly discontinued mainly due to its fragility and vulnerability in the event of collision with "dead heads" or grounding.

This article will tell you all about bulbous bows. Particularly interesting for us is why they're not seen on our smaller boats. No doubt Menorquin was trying to demonstrate to purchasers just how wonderful and up to date their weird boats are.

My family's first Grand Banks boat, a 42' Classic hull # 52, twin Ford Lehman 120 HP shipped from Junk Bay Hong Kong in late 1968. She was the second GB 42' delivered in Mediterranean.
Your yacht is stunning, love the drone pics, and the boat.

No, no. My family sold this boat in mid-1978.
Almost half a century after she was commissioned and extended cruising in the whole Mediterranean she is still strong and always on the job.
She came back on the market 2 years ago, quickly sold.
Whether we like Grand Banks or not, quality is there. I let you look at her 2014 pics (Broker's website).

Nice boat look good, I love GB too, very mice looking boat and like you say high quality...
Terranova Yacht born in 2004 and first build boat in Crotone Italia, what very difficult with boatyard so they moved very quickly to Arbatax Sardinia, they made this choice because in Sardinia Italian gouvernent give grant and taxe facility to try to restore economy in Sardinia after they move to Porto Torres and finally "Terranova Yacht" don't survive to the crisis and made bankruptcy in 2009.
Last year some people bought mold of 68/85/115 and some hull unfinished and try to reborn the brand under the new name "Terranova Italian Yachts" and now like you say they are in Pisa, hope they boing to by success full
For now look like they don't sold any Yacht and looking for fist client, they now making Cannes boatshow

I guess the price would be significantly extended as well ?
I know new T85 was sold for 4,2M€ before taxe in 2008 and I know the T115 form 2008 so used one are on market for 4,7M€.. so I can imagine around 6 or 7M€ expensive extension ...

Nice, hope you had nice boatshow ...
I know, I'm the best fan and supporter from Terranova
bon weekend

Salut Hugues. Terranova Italian Yachts' staff sent me a nice bag showing the shipyard mark (logo). When I opened the box, I thought the mark was the number 77 !
Anyway it was kind.

Yeah ! I know that they wanted very much to exhibit your beautiful yacht at FLIBS which was not possible for you, your children still in school
.Fort Lauderdale as a well earned reputation as being the Yachting Capital of the World, you will love the event, I have been there twice.
Enjoy & say Hi to Siegfried !
