The Grand Banks Eastbay 49 is a top-quality hardtop express whose elegant appearance and meticulous construction represent the ultimate in classic American yachting. A handsome yacht with a long foredeck and traditional Downeast styling, she’s built on a modified deep-V hull with a short keel. In the Eastbay’s elegant two-stateroom, two-head interior—a blend of hand-rubbed teak cabinetry, a recently refinished teak-and-holly cabin sole with new headliner and window and bed treatments, Corian countertops and custom hardware, her spacious semi-enclosed helm deck (where guests will certainly prefer to congregate) provides comfortable air conditioned or open air seating for a small crowd. The beautifully finished molded hardtop is an integral part of the design, and access to the engine room is through a hinged section of the cockpits bench seat. Additional features include wide side decks, a power-assisted center windshield panel, transom door and a teak swim platform. The large engine room is a plus with easy cockpit access and access between engines near helm.

Twin Caterpillar 660 hp each, Cat 3196TA diesels will cruise this 49 Eastbay about 24 knots (around 28 knots top) and her bow thruster (installed 2014) makes docking a breeze.  Both Engines have been upgraded with new style turbos, coolers updated and replaced injectors, etc. Air conditioning has been renewed with new fans, and new duct work, as well as both new condenser units.  In addition new refrigeration/freezer condenser unit for her reefer style system.  Call today for more information.

  This system provides for (3) Battery Banks, dedicated (during normal operation) as follows:

  • a)  Ship’s service bank (House) (2) 8D Lifeline AGM deep cycle batteries in parallel cycling to no more than 50% of the bank's total amp hour capacity 510 AH.
  •   b)  Main engine starting and electronic engine control (3) each Optima 1000 AGM 12 Volt, starting batteries in parallel (approx. 2,400 CCA deep cycle batteries in fairly rapid recovery service).
  • c) Generator starting (1) Optima 1,000 AGM batteries.

  The two battery chargers are multi-step."New Mar" (60 plus amp) dedicated multi-step charger for the ship’s service batteries and (1) “Existing” (40 amp) multi-step main charger are dedicated to the main engine and generator starting batteries.

  Back-up or emergency operator selected charging capability for all batteries from either of the chargers, fed by either of the AC power sources (shore / generator) via the board. All chargers are the multi-step, battery temp. sensing type, adjustable to battery manufacturer charging standards for AGM batteries.

  In addition, each bank is charged by a dedicated main engine driven alternator (existing 105 AMP), normally one alternator will charge the ship’s service bank and the other, the main engine and generator starting batteries respectively. Alternators are fitted with Balmar multi-step, battery temp. sensing, voltage regulators, adjustable to battery manufacturer charging standards.

  Addition of a paralleling (push and hold) switch, will provide for emergency main engine starting, from all banks in the event of starting battery failure.

  In an emergency, battery selector switch settings will be able to provide for emergency ship’s service power from the starting batteries and charging of all batteries by either battery charger.

  The existing 40 amp multi step adjustable charger is dedicated to charging both main engine and generator starting batteries receiving power from shore tie or generator, via the board.

  A Balmar multi step Series IV voltage regulator with battery temp sensing / adjustable for AGM standards etc. has been added to the existing 105 amp alternator on the port main engine and will charge the main engine batteries.

   

  In the event of an alternator failure, the second Diode on the operating alternator could be connected to provide alternator charging for all batteries.

  AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ADDITION:

  An isolation transformer has been installed in the “hot” legs of the AC shore power system, and when added to the existing galvanic isolator in the ground leg would totally isolate the vessel’s AC equipment from possible shore power problems, while preserving safety grounding in the event of a fault aboard. The system will also offer capability for some operator set voltage adjustment, in the event of low voltage encountered at some docks.

   

Words cannot describe the ease and comfort of piloting Moon Goddess, which can spin on her own axis and handles the roughest of seas. The openness of this express allows the captain and crew to enjoy a truly pleasurable on-the-water experience that enclosed cabin models miss. Yet, the hardtop and 270 degrees of windows protect the crew from the elements and provide unlimited visibility that other boats lack. On top of the helm station are a pair of Lewmar Plexiglas opening hatches which combine with an electronic opening front window to provide plenty of cool breeze for the cockpit inhabitants. All of the owner’s manuals are on board in neatly organized 3 ring binders. The decks of the cockpit are protected by thigh high bulwarks. In the port and starboard forward corners are teak overlay steps to the side decks. Located to starboard is a set of teak steps to the cockpit seating area.

Centerline is a lift up bench seat into the after part of the engine room. Flush in the deck are three hinged and gasketed hatches to the cockpit bilge, in which the spare parts, life raft, and fenders are stored. Starboard side aft is an opening bulwark door to the teak swim platform. Port side forward is a 50-amp 120/240-volt single phase shore power cord on a Glendinning electric shore cord reel. Starboard side forward is a pair of dockside telephone and CATV jacks.

Bolted to the transom is an open gate teak swim platform on stainless steel brackets with a folding stainless steel swim ladder port side. Port side aft is a freshwater hot and cold shower station. Because the hull is tunneled, Moon Goddess can access shallow waters that many boats her size miss.

The cockpit seating area is protected overhead by a fiberglass hardtop with highly visible three-panel windshield forward and sliding windows port and starboard. The cockpit seating area has beautiful teak accents, handrails and deck that add an old-world traditional style to this modern classic. Across from the helm station is a built in bar, with built-in storage, cutting table and glass holders. A glass covered chart storage cabinet is above the counter for easy access and use. The captain’s bench seat includes a series of three pull out drawers, whereas the crew’s bench seat has a new U-line icemaker underneath.  Bench seats have extensive available storage, easily accessed by varnished framed doors. The main electrical panel is easily accessed next to the helm station where fuel, water and electrical gauges are well placed.

The painted nonskid decks of the foredeck and side decks are protected by a low varnished teak toe rail with a welded stainless steel bow rail with extensions down the side decks port and starboard. Seen in the varnished teak toe rail are stainless steel fairleads, which lead to bolted stainless steel cleats on the port and starboard side decks and the bow. Seen all the way forward is a bolted stainless steel anchor pulpit with dual stainless steel rollers. Housed in the anchor pulpit is a stainless 45-lb. CQR anchor shackled to a reported 150' of 3/8" G40 galvanized steel chain and 100' of Yz" anchor rode. The anchor is hauled by a Maxwell anchor windlass and line handling capstan controlled via a pair of flush footswitches located aft of the anchor windlass or via rocker control at the helm. Port and starboard of the anchor windlass are a pair of flush storage lockers with spare storage line. Inside the starboard side storage locker is access to the chain bin. 

On top of the forward housetop are (3) Lewmar anodized aluminum Plexiglas hatches to the interior and a pair of stainless steel dorade boxes. Also bolted on top of the
forward housetop are stainless steel handrails. Flush in the starboard side side deck is a stainless steel waste pump out fitting, a stainless steel water fill, and a stainless steel diesel fuel fitting. 

Across the front of the cockpit driving station is a three-panel windshield. The center
section is on an electric actuator opening outward. The port and starboard sections are each fit with an electric wiper and freshwater wash.The nonskid decks of the wheelhouse cockpit housetop are unprotected and are accessed via a pair of footholds along the front of the windshield and are fit with a pair of stainless steel grab rails. On top of the wheelhouse cockpit housetop is the following:

• Folding stainless steel mast
• (2) VHF antennas
• ACR 1000 remote operated spotlight
• Buell dual trumpet horn
• Furuno closed array radar scanner
• Port and starboard varnished teak nameboard lights, a stern light, anchor light, and forward steaming light, GPS antenna, and a television antenna
