47' Gulfstar Sailmaster


The Gulfstar 47 Sailmaster is the boat that Cruising World author Tom Neale, his wife, and two daughters lived aboard for years, sailing throughout New England, Florida, the Bahamas, and the Carribean, as depicted in their book All in the Same Boat. It's not the fastest boat in the fifty foot range (she does about 7 knots in 15 knots of wind), but rather a stout, sturdy boat that can handle rough weather and seas, while keeping you comfortable at anchor or in port.
