Grand Banks 46 Classic

The Grand Banks 46 Classic, introduced in 1984, is one of Ray Hunt's most sought-after models. It is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and performance.

This 2000-built yacht (hull #220) with the outstanding galley-down layout has had only two knowledgeable owners and underwent a complete overhaul between 2008 and 2010.

She is meticulously maintained and regularly professionally serviced to ensure top condition. She is always dry-stored in heated indoor facilities during winter for optimal preservation. CAT engines are rigorously serviced according to factory requirements.

Considering her years, PANACEIA is in excellent condition and an outstanding contender for anyone seeking a comfortable, well-equipped, long-range cruiser.
