Welcome aboard! 

 

We are happy you have chosen “Shani II” for your vacation.  We are sure you will enjoy cruising the 
lovely islands of the Pacific Northwest. 
 
You won’t find another Grand Banks sedan like this one with the custom framed structure over the 
aft deck making the dinghy launch very easy and keeping it stowed out of your way. 
 
We trust this manual will help you become familiar with the boat.  If you have questions about the 
boat or about places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff.
