Overview

Flyaway is in exceptional condition—a beautifully maintained Grand Banks Eastbay 49 and arguably the best-maintained 49 HX currently available on the market. Combining classic Downeast styling, C. Raymond Hunt’s efficient constant-deadrise hull, and the highly desirable Caterpillar C-12 power package. Fast, maneuverable, and comfortable, she offers 360-degree visibility from the helm, easy handling with widely spaced propellers and a bow thruster, and impressive fuel efficiency at both cruising and displacement speeds. She also features a factory custom laundry closet with a washer and dryer. In 2021–22, she underwent a comprehensive refit, including a new electronics suite, proactive engine and generator service, replacement of both aftercoolers, fresh exterior varnish, new canvas and isinglass, bottom and nonskid paint, and numerous additional upgrades. Meticulously cared for and stored with exterior teak always under cover when not used, Flyaway stands out as one of the finest and best-equipped Eastbay 49s available.
