The Great Lakes Grand Banks Association (GLGBA) consists of about 100 families who own or admire Grand Banks cruising yachts. Grand Banks has been building yachts for over 50 years, and is recognized as one of the highest quality brands in the "trawler and cruising yacht" category. Each boat is unmistakably a Grand Banks in appearance, but unique in some interior and mechanical features.
Our membership of past, present and future owners of these traditional yachts is united by the quality, dependability, and timeless style of these diesel powered vessels. Our members' boats range from 28 to 58 feet in length and from 1 to 43 years in age. Some of our members are just beginning to look for a Grand Banks, while others have owned them for decades.
Non-owners who appreciate timeless quality are also welcome to join us. Our association provides a meeting ground for social and technical interaction which results in a true "family" atmosphere among Grand Banks owners and admirers. We hope this website will encourage you to contact us.
The club organizes a couple events each year. A cruising rendezvous is usually held in late July or early August that rotates between ports Canada & the US on the Great Lakes. Our annual meeting with the election of officers and directors takes place at the rendezvous. In the winter and early spring, mini meet and greats are organized in Florida and Illinois or Wisconsin where everyone is invited to attend. We are pleased for the continuous generosity and sponsorship Grand Banks Yachts out of Stewart Fl has provided our association in the past with these events.
