Grand Banks Yachts Limited - the company that pioneered the Downeast-styled #yacht with the introducton of the venerable 38 Eastbay EX in 1995 - announces the arrival of the new #eastbay44 (EB44), the next in a long line of luxury cruising yachts bearing the well-regarded Eastbay nameplate.

The new EB44 combines an eye-pleasing blend of contemporary fnishes and Downeast lines with an advanced hull design that is capable of safe and comfortable passages in open water. Its modifed deep-V hull features a sharp entry for partng the waters ahead, an advanced planing surface af, and wide reversed chines for added comfort and stability when manoeuvring.

"The #eastbay44 fully delivers the best of both worlds,” says #markrichards, CEO of #grandbanks. “You’ll experience all the comfort and style you appreciate in a Downeast #yacht, but with the legs and cruising speeds to take your adventures farther and faster. This latest generaton of Eastbay is also lighter and more efcient."

Eastbay yachts are known for their seaworthiness and cruising safety details. Elements include a deep, protectve af cockpit, wide side decks that are easy to navigate even with docklines in hand, an abundance of safety rails inboard and outboard, and a spacious foredeck for efcient anchoring. All essental cruising boat elements.

Notable exterior features on the EB44 include a large swim platorm, wide transom door for cockpit access, built-in cockpit seatng for four, and cockpit storage for extended cruises. A day hatch in the cockpit sole allows quick checks of the engines prior to startup, but there is also a large secton of the sole that hinges up for unencumbered access to the entre engine compartment.

The EB44 interior blends a variety of luxury materials, including golden, tmeless teak, stone and leather, ft and fnished with unparalleled crafsmanship, a #grandbanks trademark, to create a warm ambiance. The comfort and relaxaton of family and friends is a key driver, with a focus on safety underway that is obvious in everything from rounded corners on cabinetry to an overhead teak grab rail. The builder has included electric side and af windows that raise or lower, when conditons allow, for improved ventlaton in conjuncton with the large skylight hatches forward. An ofen overlooked feature on many of today’s cruising boats.

Grand Banks ofers three interior accommodaton plans, both of which include a spacious master stateroom and private ensuite head forward, and a utlity room. A single guest stateroom to port is standard, with the opton of a third stateroom to starboard for larger families. Large windows ofer spectacular views all around for the helmsman and guests. A down-galley layout is also ofered.

The standard power ofering aboard the EB44 will be twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines, rated at 435 mhp, with cruise speeds in the high 20 knot range knots and a max speed of 32 knots. The hull also benefts from 100- percent Vinylester resins and a cross-linked Corecell foam core.
