2002 – 46’ Grand Banks Classic

Arctic Star is an exceptionally well-outfitted late-model 46 Classic, featuring the highly desirable down-galley layout and a thoughtful equipment package that makes her especially well suited for Pacific Northwest cruising. She offers the timeless lines, comfortable accommodations, and confident performance that have made this model such a respected choice among experienced boaters.

Powered by twin 420 HP Caterpillar diesels, Arctic Star delivers dependable cruising capability along with the extra speed many buyers appreciate when weather windows or longer passages call for it. For added ease underway, she is equipped with stabilizers for a more comfortable ride and a bow thruster for stress-free close-quarters handling around docks and marinas.

Inside, her layout is designed for practical cruising and extended stays aboard. Climate comfort is covered in all seasons with both a Webasto hydronic furnace and reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating, making her equally capable on cool shoulder-season mornings and warmer summer afternoons. The MasterFlush sanitation system adds another welcome level of convenience and onboard comfort.

Her electronics package is equally impressive, centered around a 20-inch Sony touchscreen running Nobeltec Odyssey, complemented by Raymarine HybridTouch radar/plotter for modern navigation capability and excellent situational awareness. Whether planning longer coastal runs or exploring closer anchorages, she is set up to support confident passagemaking.

Accommodations are ideal for cruising with family or guests. The forward V-berth features a custom mattress that creates a full-width berth, a smart upgrade that makes the space notably more comfortable and inviting for a second couple.

Arctic Star presents as a serious cruising yacht with the right mix of performance, comfort, and equipment. For buyers seeking a proven 46 Classic that is ready for Pacific Northwest adventures, she deserves close attention.
