Grand Banks 46
The GRAND BANKS 46 is a wonderful timeless Trawler manufactured by Grand Banks Yachts (former American Marine) from 1987 (more than 200 Units produced) and in several versions: Classic, Europa, Alaskan & Motoryacht. The Classic was originally designed to bridge the gap between the successful and long-lived 42 and the larger 49, which was introduced in 1980. Unlike many trawler-style yachts, the Grand Banks are built on a semi-displacement hull with very flat aft sections.
Unlike true displacement hulls, which must always displace an amount of water equal to their weight, the Grand Banks 46 hull is capable of achieving speeds above its theoretical hull speed (planing), while still being as economical as a true displacement trawler at hull speeds. The visibility from the command station is excellent.

History
Grand Banks Yachts began its journey in 1956 as American Marine, Ltd, founded by Robert J. Newton. In 1962, they commissioned Kenneth Smith, another well-known marine architect, to design Spray - a 36-foot diesel powered cruising boat. A year later, inspired by Smith's design, Newton focused on producing the first of a line of boats that would come to be known as Grand Banks. Today, this design is recognized around the world as the Grand Banks Heritage Series, an iconic design built first of wood and then, beginning in 1973, of fiberglass at a new factory in Singapore.
In 1993, Grand Banks took another traditional boat design - the lobster boat or "Downeast" cruiser - and definitively captured its style and spirit in the launch of the Eastbay Series. In 2001, the launch of the Aleutian Series of raised pilothouse yachts delivered with a new level of style and sophistication.
