While all of the Grand Banks Eastbay 49's have always been highly sought after and popular, "Sun Catcher" 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.
(This is a Preliminary Listing- many more photos and specifications to come. The yacht is just now being commissioned for the 2023 Season) -April 2023.
"Sun Catcher" has been lovingly owned by only 2 owners, both of which have kept her in tip-top form. Some of her more key features include:
