Description

Here is a 46' Heritage Classic with the galley up arrangement. Powered by a pair of serviced Caterpillar 375hp 3208TA diesels with a Westmar bow thruster and Naiad stabilizers. Beautiful teak interior has upgraded granite galley countertops with some newer appliances, plus a dedicated pantry/laundry area. A galley up, two stateroom general arrangement. Master stateroom aft cabin has a queen walk-around berth with plenty of windows and an aft exit door to the cockpit. Extra custom drawer storage starboard and a bureau dresser to port in the Master, plus a nice private head and shower. The forward stateroom has a large V-berth that has filler cushion to make into a full berth. She has a 2005-model Novurania tender with 20hp Honda 4-stroke outboard and a UMT davit. The flybridge has a sturdy bimini top which is incorporated into an aluminum arch with a newer KVH sat TV dome antenna. There are two mounted helm chairs by Llebroc which are adjustable with contour cushions and footrests. The bridge also has a dinette lounge.  WASSAILING had come out of the boatyard in early 2023 after getting her varnish refreshed, stabilizers serviced, and a bottom job. 

This boat comes to market with an owner who is committed to the sale process. Most photos were taken 3/16/23, a few of the profile photos are older.

Overview-Walkthrough

Current owner has had this updated Grand Banks for a little over 7 years and a change of boating style has resulted in her coming to market. Both current and previous owner have been great stewards of this vessel and the next owner will continue to benefit from many improvements.

Entry to the cabin is through either port or starboard side doors. The starboard side door is adjoining to the lower helm which is to the forward end of the deckhouse, port door is more mid-ships entering the Salon area which is aft of the L-shape galley which is located up and forward on the portside. Teak parquet flooring in nicely finished with a center rectangular area rug and a teak fold up hi-low dining table in the center of the salon area. Aft to portside is a large, comfortable, L-shaped settee lounge with Black ultra-leather custom cushions. Across from the settee to the aft starboard portside of the salon is a custom teak wall cabinet housing a newer, 32-inch, flat-panel TV with a Grand Banks teak armchair just below, upholstered in the matching black ultra-leather. There are also 3 high-quality teak folding chairs that can be used here or elsewhere around the boat. Between the settee and the forward helm on the starboard side is a teak cabinet with refrigerator/icemaker, bar/bottle storage cabinets, and drawer storage. Throughout the interior there is furniture-quality teak cabinetry, teak parquet sole, Hunter-Douglas shades in the salon and aft cabin, beveled edge mirrors and low voltage accent lighting, as well as LED lighting used wherever practical. There are also TVs in both staterooms as well as a daylight/outdoor TV which is mounted on the flybridge.

Moving aft down steps to the Master stateroom which has a walk-around queen berth, private head (portside), separated door shower stall (starboard side), loads of drawer/closet storage, a small desk/dresser to the aft portside corner, and an access door/hatch that opens to the cockpit.  

The forward one-third of this boat has been somewhat customized for optimum use for a cruising couple or liveaboard. The steps going down to the forward cabin area can be lifted allowing access door to the engine compartment. Next to the stairs (portside) is a large storage compartment with room for spare parts/tools. Next forward on the port side is a large pantry with multiple storage closet/cabinets with shelves and a freezer. One cabinet here has all the builder manuals and equipment guides in binders. This pantry area storage can thoroughly supplement the galley if needed for extended trips or stays aboard. Across the companionway to the starboard side is another service area with a newer LG washer/dryer combo unit and additional shelves and storage. Further forward on the starboard side is the guest/day head which has a separate shower stall and there is a door between the pantry and the steps up to the salon which provides privacy for guests. Guest cabin has a large V-berth which has a filler to make the berth full. There is a hanging locker, drawer storage and a TV.
