Another question to add to “The Right Boat” category, if you have a moment. I would certainly appreciate a comment or two regarding Gulfstars as a sailing boat, specifically the cutter-rigged Gulfstar 44. Anticipated use would be primarily coastal cruising and island-hopping in the Caribbean.
Hi George: The Gulfstars were generally heavily built. We’ve had several friends cruise extensively on the Gulfstar 50. The 44, 50, and 53 typically offer a lot of boat for the money. They won’t be as fast as more modern designs, but you get a lot more interior space and storage space for the $$$. As usual, be sure and get a thorough survey! Steve
