Motor Yacht HOMELAND is a 72’ / 21.95m yacht for sale, built and launched by yacht builder Grand Banks. Delivered to a knowledgeable yacht owner in 2006. This luxury yacht sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 staterooms with accommodations for 2 crew in 1 cabin.    

Homeland is a 2005 Grand Banks 72 Aleutian Raised Pilothouse. She was based on the Grand Banks 64 Aleutian RP, designed by Tom Fexas, but benefits from a cockpit, longer running surface, additional fuel capacity, and more storage. She is easy to handle thanks to walkaround decks and a side door directly adjacent to the lower helm station. Twin Caterpillar C30 diesel engines rated at 1,550 horsepower each enable this boat to reach top speeds approaching 30 knots and a comfortable high cruise speed of around 22 knots. For efficiency, anything under 11 knots is very economical and doesn’t require much effort from the big engines. Three staterooms and heads plus crew quarters provide plenty of space for overnight guests. What is normally a convertible office is a dedicated stateroom on this 72, with 3 bunks. Typical of Grand Banks, her interior living areas are roomy and comfortable and feature beautiful teak joinery. 

Two electric doors open from the aft deck to the elegant salon. When left open, the area flows nicely as one. The curved sofa and two chairs provide lots of seating and the bookcases are useful and great-looking. A pop-up TV is in a cabinet in the aft port corner and a bar is in the starboard one.
