GULFSTAR 50 Cruising Ketch. Built in 1978 by Gulfstar USA, this Lazzara classic designed cruising cutter ketch is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a big, strong, proven sea farer at a basement price. Current owners are living aboard at the moment and ready for change. Full cockpit and saloon covers keep the boat cool and protected. Large Bimini is quite new and in excellent condition. This is a three cabin layout with a magnificent teak fit-out. From the spacious centre cockpit you step down into a large saloon with U shaped lounge on port, around a table (converts to double bunk), bench seating on starboard side. 6�4� headroom creates a very spacious feel. Forward cabin includes a specious V-berth with good storage forward and second head. From the saloon going aft there is a starboard side Nav station and the well designed L- shaped Galley on port that extends part way down the companion way to the aft cabin. The large aft cabin with private shower and head has stacks of room and closet storage for long trips away. Good access to the Perkins 65hp engine and electrics is through a side door under the cockpit and front access from under the stairs. Great ventilation through the boat from hatches forward and in the saloon and aft cabin. Top sides is well appointed with ample sized deck gear. Mast and mizzen removed and refurbished Oct 2012. Standing rigging is around 3 years old. Furling headsail and stay sail are in good condition as are fully battened main sail and mizzen sail. With all lines running to the cockpit she is set up for the short handed cruising sailor. This yacht is a serious blue water vessel with very attractive classic lines. Ready to go as is and with some minor inclusions will have you out exploring the world. This is a lot of yacht for a realistic price.
