Seller note:

Introduction Irish Lady is a nicely maintained example of the popular Grand Banks 46 Heritage Europa. With her in-line six cyl Caterpillar engines her engine room is a dream to work in. The only 46 Europa we have seen with Captains Quarters built into what we originally referred to as the garage space (the very large storage/utility area aft of the house and forward of the lazaratte). Accommodations Grand Banks is well known for their superbly crafted full varnished teak interiors and this yacht is no exception. She has the preferred solid teak parquet soles and is the preferred 2 stateroom two head galley up layout.There is an abundance of natural light and ventilation courtesy of the salon/helm deck that is fully surrounded by large windows several of which are sliders with screens. Forward there are smaller slider type windows in the trunk cabin in each stateroom and head as well as overhead hatches. Artificial light is also superb with brass swivel style reading lights at each berth and settee as well as several overhead lamps throughout. When natural ventialtion is not enough cooling is provided via 3 reverse cylcle (they also can provide heat) ac units.MASTER STATEROOM &HEADStarting forward is the Master Stateroom featuring an island queen berth below.There is storage in a full sized chart drawer and 4 cargo drawers.
