PRELIMINARY LISTING AND PHOTOS.
 NEW PHOTOGRAPHY TO BE TAKEN UPON SPRING COMMISSIONING IN MAY.

TOORA LOORA is a prime example of the highly regarded Aleutian 53 built by Grand Banks. This yacht offers a spacious 3-stateroom, 2-head layout, including a full-beam master suite, a large salon, and an on-deck galley as part of an expansive raised pilothouse. The large aft deck, full walk-around side decks, and generous flybridge make it easy to enjoy the outdoors and entertain. Additionally, TOORA LOORA features a large full-beam stand-up aft engine room and utility area.

Offering the best of all worlds, TOORA LOORA blends timeless style and comfortable living spaces with high-performance long-range cruising capabilities and a stable, quiet ride at both displacement and 20+ knot top speeds.  Her low-hour Cummins QSM11’s will push her economically at 12-15kts, or you can power up to a high cruise of 18kts when needed.

Broker Remarks

These desirable GB53 Aleutians do not come up often or last long on the market, making TOORA LOORA a rare offering.  She is nicely updated and current on all mechanical services, making her ready to cruise this summer.  She is offered for sale by an owner who has had multiple Grand Banks yachts and has finally decided to sell her due to a desire to spend more time ashore and downsize.  She is in beautiful condition and will not disappoint upon inspection.
