General Description of This Grand Banks 46’ Classic
Exterior
The Grand Banks 46’ Classic is a traditional yacht design,
with fiberglass hull, cabin, and flybridge structures, a teak
swim grid/step, teak decks, rails, and gunwhale caps, and
stainless steel welded fittings and handrails. The window
frames are of painted wood with sliding glass panes,
while the windshield frame is of the same material.
Of particular note are the easy walk-around decks,
enabling safe, secure passage about the boat by
passengers and crew. A roomy cockpit section with a
storage lazarette beneath is especially useful for fishing
and for handling the dinghy after it is launched from its
davit on the stern.
On the side decks are the two fuel fills, one port-side and the other starboard. A holding tank pump-out deck fitting is
located on the port side aft. The water tank fills are on the port side, in the side and foredecks.
The roomy walk-around helps
keep you safe and secure.
