OVERVIEW

While all of the Grand Banks Eastbay 49's have always been highly sought after and popular, "1 Freedom 1" is an ESPECIALLY FINE example of the more rare Salon Express (SX) model with the factory hard-back salon enclosure vs the soft-back canvas enclosure found on the Hardtop Express (HX) model. This feature provides for a "true salon" which is finished to a much higher degree than that of the soft-back models (which are more exposed to the elements), and the space can be locked for added security and comfort.

"1 Freedom 1" has been lovingly owned and kept in tip-top form. Some of her more key features include:

-Hull painted with Awl Grip, "San Mateo Wheat"

-Low-hours (1750) on her CAT C-12 705hp diesel engines with Twin Disk MGX 5114 A Gears

-Onan 13.5KW diesel generator with 1,425 hours

-Bow Thruster added April 2023

-Hydraulic TNT swim platform (re-built 2022) with new dingy cradle (2023)

-New Garmin Electronics (2024)

-Cockpit teak decking

-Electric grill and ice maker in cockpit (both new 2020)

-Unique layout with larger than standard Master Stateroom and Office

-Poseidon pleated shades in Salon, all windows, windshield, and aft door (2020)

Current and prvious Owners have performed the following, which is a testament to the care that "1 Freedom 1" has received:

 The Salon Express version of the 49 Eastbay offers a comfortable air conditioned or heated salon/helm area. A large L-Settee is to port. It's forward length has been aligned with the port bench seat that raises and lowers via electric actuator (recently serviced). When in the lowered position, the bench seat becomes part of the settee and converts to a sectional. The bench seat backrest swings forward to allow comfortable seating in the down/sectional position. When raised, the bench seat is at same level as STIDD helm seat opposite on starboard. A custom teak entertainment center with electronic pop-up flatscreen TV and bar is to starboard with a small stainless steel sink aft of the helm.

The Grand Banks Eastbay 49' is arguably the finest and one of the most beautiful yachts to come from the boards of C. Raymond Hunt and Associates. Her design has defined the modern downeast cruiser, with most other builders trying to emulate the yacht since her introduction. Graceful sheer and moderate bow flare are reminiscent of Maine lobster boats, while her modified deep-V hull with computer designed lifting strakes are at the forefront of modern underbody design. Her twin 705 hp Caterpillar C12s engines (only 1750 original hours) provide ample, reliable power and speed, and she cruises easily at 25 knots. The interior accommodations are well designed and provide a bright and airy ambiance. The galley like other living spaces is efficient with ample storage and top of the line appliances. Flawless joinery and elegant upholstery throughout have been refreshed and well maintained, and the vessel is professionally cleaned and managed. "1 Freedom 1" is modern, fast, dry, stable, and beautifully detailed, as one would expect in a Grand Banks yacht. This boat is in turn-key condition and will readily appeal to a discerning yachtsman. If you wish to cruise in luxury and turn heads in every harbor, "1 Freedom 1" should be at the top of your list!
