Potentially the most successful of the collaborations between legendary naval architects C. Raymond Hunt Associates and world-class builder Grand Banks: the creation of a fast, powerful yet seakindly yacht, finished with a Patrick Knowles-designed interior.
Eastbay 58's, with only eight built, are rare on the brokerage market. With all the updated and new gear and equipment, FREEDOM is one of those rare opportunities. She is only offered because her owner is moving to a larger boat.
AccommodationsThree-stateroom interior with galley down configuration, bright and airy main saloon, opening to a generous cockpit and a stairway to a large well-equipped flybridge. Interior is finished in satin-varnished teak with hardwoods done in high gloss. Varnished teak and holly sole throughout the entire yacht. All overhead lighting by Cantaluppi. Oceanair combination screen and blinds for all overhead hatches.
Main SaloonThe heart and soul of the Eastbay 58 is her main saloon. Entered through a sliding door from the cockpit or starboard door at the helm station, it is a warm, bright, and inviting, comfortable room. A large L-shaped settee is aft to starboard with a Hi-Lo folding leaf teak table with maple inlay and compass rose. Storage is found beneath, with gas shocks assisting the hinged seat and back for easier access. Forward is a multi drawer bureau with granite top. Opposite to port is an entertainment center with a remote control TV lift module and liquor storage beneath. Upholstered barrel chairs flank this unit. Port aft is the yacht’s electrical panel, cleverly concealed behind faux-book covered doors and all the way forward is a combination dinette/nav desk with two custom swivel stools. The top openings were customized to maximize access to the space beneath.
Forward to starboard is the lower helm station with Stidd helm chair, teak steering wheel, and sliding access door to the side deck. The helm itself has been carefully designed to manage all nav, communication, and operating functions from one location.
GalleySeveral steps down from the main saloon to port, opening inboard and U shaped, with Giallo Topazio granite counter tops and backsplash. Forward is the Scandvik double stainless sink, one bowl larger, with Grohe single lever faucet and Miele Touchmatic teak faced dishwasher inboard. Centered outboard is a 4 burner Miele 220v electric cook top, with pot holders, above a Miele convection oven. Aft and outboard is a 5.5 cu. ft. capacity top-loading freezer followed inboard by a Sharp convection microwave. Next is the custom 2-door 13.9 cu. ft. refrigerator with adjustable slide out drawers and shelves with in door thermometers, upper and lower, cooled by a Grunert 220v holding plate system.
Significant effort by the owner to maximize and customize storage during the build. Open above to the saloon this is a bright and airy space with light from the outboard opening port and the forward windshield above.
Guest Stateroom - StarboardOpposite the galley and through sliding double pocket doors is a queen-sized berth outboard with two large drawers beneath, nightstand inboard, and varnished teak hull ceiling outboard. A cedar-lined hanging locker is forward and two opening ports for light and ventilation.
Guest Stateroom - PortJust forward down the passageway fitted with two athwartship single berths, each with drawer storage beneath and a cedar lined hanging locker between them. A flat-screen television is mounted on the inboard bulkhead of the aft berth. Opening ports and an overhead hatch for light and ventilation.
Opposite this stateroom is a louvered door locker containing a separate stacked Miele Washer and 220v Dryer.
Guest HeadAlso opposite the port: Guest stateroom with granite countertop and separate stall shower with an overhead hatch and opening port.
Master Stateroom - ForwardCenter line queen size island berth with drawer storage beneath and gas-assisted shocks, enabling the aft of the berth to be lifted to access additional storage beneath. The forward bulkhead is fabric-padded and the berth is flanked by swivel arm reading lights and teak bookshelves. Hull ceilings are lined with varnished teak. A large double door cedar lined hanging locker with a built-in safe and bureau forward is aft to starboard. An emergency escape ladder is also stored in this locker. Opposite to port is a bureau with a flat-screen television mounted above. The master head is a separate compartment entered port aft and the separate stall shower is located as you enter this stateroom to starboard. Additional overhead hatches were added for each of these compartments to provide extra light and ventilation. There is an additional shelved locker for clothes or storage. All flat surfaces are finished in Giallo Topazio granite, including the head and shower.
CockpitDown two steps from the Main Saloon, or entered by the transom door from the swim platform, with a sole covered in laid teak. There are steps from each forward corner to the side decks and four hatches for access to the lazarette storage and bilges beneath. Forward to port, beneath the flybridge staircase, is a doorway to the air-conditioned engine room. Forward to starboard is a built-in electric grill with a U-Line icemaker beneath. A hot and cold shower is fitted into the inside of the transom for use in the cockpit or on the swim platform.
FlybridgeThe flybridge is accessible via a staircase from forward port side of the cockpit. A large L-shaped settee with a Hi-Lo teak table is to starboard upon entering this space and includes a wet bar to port with a Scandvik stainless sink and a Norcold DC refrigerator beneath. Forward is the helm ahead of three Stidd helmsman and passenger seats. The helm console has full instrumentation for both the ship's operation and its navigation. A teak-rimmed stainless destroyer style wheel is centered in front of the console.

Additional CommentsPerhaps the most highly thought-out and customized version of the Eastbay 58 by a very knowledgeable, experienced, and detail-oriented original owner. Well over 100 changes were implemented on the standard boat, including extras like additional fuel capacity and an air-conditioned engine room, along with several trips to the yard during the build process. She recently completed a major refurbishment and refit, including updating of all equipment, systems, and furnishings.
