Emma Rose is relatively new to us. After 20 years of sailing the Salish Sea and Canadian North Coast it was time to for a powered cruiser to make the journey all the way to Alaska in a little more warmth and comfort. This mahogany-planked Grand Banks 32 ably fit the bill. With all new electronics, plumbing, heat, navigation, ground tackle, refrigeration and a near new 150HP John Deere diesel, Emma Rose was primed for runs up the Inside Passage. We added 700 watts of flexible solar panels which enables us to cruise all summer long entirely off the grid. No noisy generators or racing to marinas to recharge. Add a few rod holders on the aft deck for catching salmon and pots on board for crab and prawns and you have the makings for perfect cruising.
