Sovereign is an extremely rare and very desirable factory built twin-engine example of the Grand Banks 32 Classic, (Sovereign is one of six twin engine 32’s built and one of the last 8 GB32’s commissioned) a premium quality compact trawler yacht from the legendary Grand Banks yard. Offering spacious accommodation both on deck and below, a high-quality traditional fit-out, excellent sea keeping, and sensible economy ideal for extended cruising. Sovereign has a great inventory including heating, recent navigation equipment, solenoid activated engine cooling seacocks, and is fitted with bow and stern thrusters for easy handling. Sovereign comes with a recent canister Life Raft, (Still in service) and an inflatable dinghy and outboard (new 2023). Presented in very excellent condition for her year, even comes with the original GB table lamp. Sovereign is UK Vat Paid.
Sovereign has just (2/6/25) undertaken a survey for insurance purposes and apart from some fire extinguishers that will need replacing some time this year she passed without fault. I will be happy to provide a copy of the survey to any prospective purchaser with the previous surveys and the existing documentation file for review during the viewing process
This is a private sale without the use of a yacht broker, the seller intends to use the RYA standard Form of Contract for the sale of the boat. If however, the purchaser prefers to use the facilities of a Yacht broker then this can be arranged and the costs agreed between the parties.
