46 Classic

The Grand Banks 46 Classic ranks among the finest cruising yachts ever produced. With her timeless trawler profile, seakindly hull, and elegant teak interior the 46 Classic has defined cruising luxury since her introduction in 1985. Several interior layouts were offered over the years, and while a three-stateroom floorplan was standard, a galley-down, two-stateroom plan proved popular as well. The large owner's aft cabin is designed with a walkaround queen-sized bed and direct cockpit access. With her spacious salon and comfortable staterooms, the 46 offers plenty of interior space yet remains easily manageable by a crew of two. Like all Grand Banks models, the 46 Classic was built to high productions standards. The teak joinery is flawless; the mechanical systems are first-rate; hull finish is mirror-smooth. (Note that the deckhouse tooling was changed at hull #43 in 1988 to provide slightly wider side decks aft.) Full walkaround decks and an aft cockpit allow the crew safe, secure movement while at sea and during docking. The large engine room has over five feet of headroom. Twin Cat or Cummins diesels deliver a top speed of 18–20 knots.
