Nut N Special

Scott Welch (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 06/04/2019) states that the wooden Grand Banks were built in Hong Kong by American Marine. American Marine went bankrupt in 1974 and moved operations to Singapore, and the Singapore yard built only fiberglass hulls. Kong & Halvorson / Island Gypsy took over the Hong Kong operation and built wooden hulls for about 5 more years." The MMBC stated "Nut N Special is a classic Grand Banks (GB) Motor Yacht. 1973 was the last year of wood production for GB and she is is a beauty. Made with mahogany and teak she maintains her classic look while having been modernized for cruising in comfort. Updated electronics, heating, bedding, plumbing, electrical and refrigeration"
