While all of the Grand Banks Eastbay 49's have always been popular, "Amyleasa" is an ESPECIALLY FINE example of the more rare and desirable Salon Express (SX) model with the factory hard-back salon enclosure vs the soft enclosure found on the Hardtop Express (HX). Even more rare and sought-after is the fact that she has the side door leading to the side decks at the helm- a feature that most cruising couples consider a "must-have" on any "DownEast" style cruising yacht.
