Well... ;) if you like Winnabagos, you'll love the gulfstar....

PS: i sailed a gulfstar 51 .. once .. the only time I was happy was
while we were docked... it is a wonderful below deck design... lots of
room, nicly arrainged... pretty... spiffy...
but as a sailboat..... it leaves much to be desired.

| 1956.3 | welll..... just because... | BTOVT::HILTON_G | SYS-F-UNIVCRASH% REALITY.SYS Corrupted - Reboot Universe? (Y/N/Q | Tue Nov 03 1992 23:20 | 27 |

beamy ..a little too much
LOTS of freeboard ..a little to 'lots'
the rig could use about 5 more feet of height
the mast should be moved back (just a wee bit)
the one I sailed was cutter rigged.. the damn jib kept getting
caught in the rigging every tack.
Actually... better than moving the rig back... get one thats
ketch rigged... I hear it helps... but make sure the mizzen mast
is very close to the main mast in height.
oh... have you ever tried to steer a bar of soap...?
if you've sailied a gulfstar you can say you have. ;)
one other issue... i have heard of 3 and actaully had first hand
experience with one gulfstar that hard to have its whole wiring
harness replaced due to shoddy installation and cheap parts...
'nuff said...

PS: buy a Cherebini (sp?) or a Choey Lee...if you are spending
that kinda $$$$$
