Gulfstar 50 Ketch - World Cruising Yacht

1977 Gulfstar 50 Ketch - World Cruising Yacht

Named by Cruising World Magazine as one of the top 40 all-time best sailboats.  This Gulfstar 50 Ketch has completed a several year live-aboard cruise around the world.  Throughout the voyage and ownership, the yacht has seen many updates making it an ideal live-aboard and offshore capable adventurer.  Life aboard and life at sea have different demands and requirements and this yacht has experienced the transformation from a coastal cruiser to a blue-water world voyager, a detailed and painstaking process.  The owners have enjoyed their 24 years at sea and adventures around the globe and are now ready to re-acclimate to life on Terra Firma.  This is a great opportunity to benefit from their years of experience by purchasing a yacht that has been fully prepared for life at sea and begin your own adventure and voyage.

Charles Doane of Sail Magazine calls the Gulfstar 50 "An affordable Big Boat"

Now a sailing classic, the Gulfstar 50 is known for its sailing qualities; a fast hull shape and capable offshore in heavy seas.  It's solid fiberglass construction and versatile ketch rig and affordable price point make it an ideal and popular World Cruiser.  The interior layout and finish is perfectly suited for life at sea offering ample storage for long journeys and all the comforts of home.

Transitioning to a life at sea as a live-aboard is a process and transforming the yacht can be a long process of trial and error.  Tsolo has been lovingly transformed by its owners after several years at sea as they have traveled around the world, constantly updating and improving the home on the water.  Comfort, storage, efficiency, safety, security, stability, ; these are the concerns of every sailor as they live and travel on the water.  Preparing the yacht to meet these concerns is a painstaking and costly process with many hidden circumstances, making it difficult to get it right the first time.  Tsolo is about as well sorted a yacht as you will find with many clever modifications above and below decks putting these concerns to rest.
