Grand Banks Yachts Eastbay 39 SX

The Eastbay 39 SX is an updated version of the popular Eastbay 38, the boat that launched the Eastbay series in 1994. She was available in two configurations: the SX features a fully enclosed salon while the HX model has a semi-enclosed helm deck with no aft bulkhead. (Nearly all Eastbay 39s were SX models.) The accommodations include a spacious salon/helm deck on the main level with a Stidd helm seat and corner L-settee. Further forward is a chart table with room for a companion Stidd chair or convertible bench seat. Outside views from any seat in the salon are excellent. Ventilation is abundant as well with a windshield center section that opens, sliding side windows and two overhead hatches. Down three steps is a U-shaped dinette to port, full service galley with Corian counters, and large head with a curved shower enclosure. Forward is a private stateroom with island queen bed. Note the cockpit lazarette and wide side decks. Access to the engine room is via a hatch in the cabin sole. Built on a Hunt-designed deep-V hull with moderate beam, Yanmar 480hp diesels cruise the Eastbay 39 at 24–26 knots (about 30 knots top).
