2002 Grand Banks 38 Eastbay HX | RESPITE

WALKTHROUGH

RESPITE offers classic Downeast lines and a C. Raymond Hunt-designed hull with the quality and care of Grand Banks’ reputation which is clearly evident in her design and construction, from her varnished teak toerails to her finely arranged interior. This Eastbay 38HX has a hardtop and semi-enclosed helm deck, transom door and teak swim platform. Stepping up from the large cockpit, her expansive helm deck includes a settee and two (2) custom Pompanette helmseats. Forward, the main cabin features a full-service galley to port and convertible U-shaped dinette opposite. The master stateroom is forward with standard V-berth and the head/shower is located just aft to port. The engine room is easily accessed via a power-assisted deck hatch.

The Grand Banks 38 Eastbay HX is a highly regarded Downeast-style express cruiser, featuring a signature deep-V hull that delivers exceptional offshore performance – built ideally for various weather conditions.
