The boat was purchased in Maryland and sailed to Massachusetts in 2015. The previous owner sailed her over central America and in the Chesapeake Bay. She has since sailed around Cape Cod area, Block Island and Buzzards Bay.
She had recently been refitted with a new deck in 2021. We now live too far to be able to enjoy the next sea adventures of this Gulf 40, and unfortunately need to sell her. The boat is currently stored on the hard at Shaw’s boatyard, one of the few remaining DIY boatyards in the USA.
