- We crossed the bridge to Cape Cod and found this 1982 Gulfstar 44 sailboat for sale for $59,900. It's a neat layout, not unlike the Pearson 385 sailboat tour we took a while back. She's been on the hard for the past 7 years so she could use a good helping of TLC to bring her back up to the race-winning condition she was in before being hauled out.

Considerable interior TLC has been a;;lied to refinish the areas of epoxy finish delamination so interior is now ready to use, New pics available. Recent survey available and price reduced to $55,900 or make offers. Add a coat of bottom paint and be ready to launch in the Spring. Free storage till then !
Like to take a look at the survey and recent photos.
Love how Captain Q gets so excited about how this boat was prepared to race, or “likes to go fast”
"Smoke it and find out" ... quote of the week for sure! LOL
Agreed almost perfect my pants. Nice one Ran day!!
Peed my pants!!!
It’s medicinal Captain!!
good to know
There are a few comments I can make as the owner of the Gulf Star. It was produced in the 1980s after Gulfstar woke up and started building bots with higher quality. The sails are by North and maintained by the Salem MA loft. Included are two 152% Genoas, and the Mainsail with two full length battens at the top, plus two more and three reefs, and equipped with Dutchman flaking system, These sails were constructed with cloth two weights heavier than normal to assure long life. These sails provide top sailing performance including winning the Venona prize for the Round the Vineyard race, fastest corrected time in all classes plus many other New England PHRF races! Also the original sails and a 120% heavy air sail a spinnaker and a storm jib that hank on to the removable inner head stay come with the boat. The engine room fire suppression system is Dry Chemical not Halon. There is always some flexibility in the price. The boat has been stored where it is from 1992 on and is placed there each year it was used by using a Brownell type trailer. The last time it was placed there after being used in sailing condition for the summer, the cost was about $600 to strike the mast and haul the boat to its current location with similar charge to put her in the water and step the mast in the spring, not a huge expense. All of the exterior teak has been varnished since new and the interior teak was covered with epoxy in 1994, and can use some tough up. I can be contacted with questions at kern50440@gmail.com, and will call anyone interested in purchasing the boat who provides their phone number in their email. Fred
Is this still available Fred?
Fred is the boat still for sale a viewer vid enquiring??
Definitely can tell Fred has loved this boat for years. Such a amazing sailboat
Sea Puppy is too obvious, so Puddles would be keeping with a nautical theme. :D
Call the pup Dinty.
Man. I’d love the boat. My racing background truly appreciates the hull work, rudder and sail plan. It sitting still for 10 years scares the hell out of me.
I think all things considered he will have to come down a bit more, but that would ultimately with upgraded electronics be a great cruiser. Ya'll crankin' out some fine vids boys
mike its up to you ...you might be surprised ...the first offer is often like the small snowball pushed over the edge 0f a hill
I like Baywoof for the little viking but that's me. Scupper came to mind as well and finally Moondog from the old Annette Funicello days. Great boat and as a young couple looking to do the work , this could be a great choice. Thanks again Captain Q and Randay. Now I have "Old Cape Cod" stuck in my head for the rest of the day lol.
Just in case some of the younger viewers don’t know :
th-cam.com/video/HT2ao0rcxoA/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
Scupper is a great name fore the new puppy.
This is Fred Kern, boat's owner. I was also VC Fleet of FPYC and can't get the title to change !
Thanks for another great episode Captain Q, Ran-day, and Seadog!
Captain Q thanks for covering the anchoring system, chain and rope rode. So many channels go on about all chain as being the way to go. The chain / rope combo is far superior with modern anchors allowing for built-in shock absorbing. Many also feel that chain is stronger, yet they don't consider all of the parts of their anchoring system and look for the weakest link. I would rather lose an anchor than rip a cleat, winch or sampson post off the fore deck.
The puppy should be named Seabiscuit!!
You have sea dog to i think the new pet should be sea pup. As a previous commenter said kind of obvious, but I think fitting. Keep the good stuff coming,
So much potential it would just depend how set in stone that price is. I'm sure moving her would not be cheap and for myself she would need some updating. I didn't hear anything about sails or did I miss it. She really is a hidden gem or diamond in the ruff as it were. Thanks guys for showing her to us. Definitely adds another vessel I'll keep in mind for when I can finally get serious about buying my first and at my age last boat...
seriously don't hesitate to at least see it most of our episode boats are gone ...sometimes in days
Call the little one Shannon. I love the Shannons that you featured in an earlier episodes.
I was thinking of a name for Sea Dog's cousin. I like the name Schatz. It means treasure in German. Sounds cool too. Sea Dog and Schatz.
At my age I can see myself sailing but I love the dream and the education you are giving me. Thank you
Bought boat in 1992 and had hurricane Bob damage fixed under galley then had peeled bottom resurfaced with 12 oz biaxial fg and West epoxy and barrier coat so bottom wil NEVER blister !! Still in great shape ! Siegel bolts snapped off in 2013 so had Kingman Marine design and install better skew design at a coat of over $20,000 ! Great improvement for offshore durability. Boat has cost on modified 23” diameter Gori propeller delivering 10 nmpg/gallon at around 5.5 knot low cruising speed. Also had new SS fuel tank made and installing in 1992. Boat has heavier than recommended North High performance sails. PHRF race wins include Buzzards Bay regatta wins, Round the Bay wins, Hurricane Cup wins and placing first of all classes in the Round the Island Race getting the Venona prize around Martha’s Vineyard. Also won race between Province town and Tennants Harbor ME and several Whalers races from NBYC around Block Island and back, some single handed!
Most of interior teak finished with Clear West Epoxy, and solid wood doors also so coated and finished with West varnish.
We did not open side ports to keep the seals from leaking, so knobs are currently stuck so I suggest not trying to open them except the galley to cockpit one. We primarily used the forward and aft thatched which capture lots of breeze. The main and one of 2 152 percent genoas are in the main cabin. The seats there slide out to give 2 double berths. The folding table mounts to the mast which is not installed so table not in position but near where it goes
Lots of cabinets around the boat and in galley, but no little cabinets behind main salon seats or over forward bunks
Radar display mounts to bracket over sinks so can be seen from chart table, or raised through the hatch and then seen from the cockpit.
A large dodges goes back to the pedestal grab rail so steering in rain does not require foul weather gear. Dodger makes an extra “room” for inclement weather. Also small dodger and a Bimini also go with the boat.
Other improvements include modification of propane locker to enlarge it to take 2, 20 pound tanks, fairing out aft end of keel adding over a foot of length, installing a removable inner head stay and turnbuckle for attaching smaller and storm jobs with hanks, replacing inadequate turning block top plates with thicker ones and modifying lower spreader mast tangs after one failed while sailing.
Boat also has 285 watt solar panel and refrigerator unit added to 12 cubic foot top loading ice box which minimizes loss of cold air Re side opening boxes.
Call for additional information. I’ll have a nice large picture of boat in the water to take a shot of for the video. Boat has winter cover frame mounted with side boards untied from lifelines on starboard side to facilitate going forward to see inner head stay turnbuckle, SS chain
and 45 pound CQR anchor. Boarding ladder with epoxy and FG covered teak steps now on cabin top Dorade boxes also coated with epoxy and UV resistant varnish. All exterior teak has been varnished since boat was new !
Hope this gives you useful inputs
If we were ready or at least in better position to buy right now, this boat would definitely be a real contender for us. The price is out of our range but it’s a beautiful boat that has obviously been very well cared for & loved. Good luck on selling her. I will keep my eye on her. Should anything change in the near future I will be in touch. Thanks for posting all of the additional info. Whoever gets her will be really blessed to have her.

Another great boat at a great price.
I guess anyone struggling to sell a decent boat just needs to give Capt Q a call, put it on TH-cam and it will be gone in a heartbeat.
I respectfully don't agree - all things considered (unsold for a LONG time, in an awkward place to get it out - certainly can't do a thorough survey or sea trial, generally pretty run down, history of significant hull and rudder damage, don't know about the sails, only one pair of cockpit winches, etc, etc.) I honestly think that if he gets $20K for it, he'll be lucky.
@neilquigley1030 did you bother to read the owners comments above before making your ridiculous statement? He said it would cost about 600 to have hauled and mast stepped. Sails are in great shape and condition. Has a survey done recently and has done some more maintenance on it.
@@bendaves77 do I really have to explain irony ?
Welcome to Cape Cod 😊⛵️⛵️⛵️just love spending Thursday with both of you 👍💕
Another smokin episode!!!!!!
Thank you for showing another great sailing vessel. Keep it coming !
Love your socks and your thorough review on the boat.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Glad to see the explanation for “PB”!
Love the layout on this boat. Perfect live aboard cruiser.
Another fine presentation ⛵⚓
Great video thanks for sharing!
I really like that ol gal, very nice layout. Thanks for the awesome video
Scupper! The little dogs name! Love your vlog.
I agree with a previous suggestion- “Salty”? A little “Salty-Dog”!
Nicely done.
Thank you for making the correction that the boat's interior spaces can indeed be a his and his, or hers and hers. Simple, yet very much appreciated. 😊 Great video as always!
no problem
Like this boat. Love the spreaders on the Mast! IF I had her, I'd put Mast steps on her before the Mast was put back. Probably needs all new standing and running rigging too. Loved all that storage space. I'd cruise on that boat! Thanks again Captain and Rhandy(?) Spelling.
I always appreciated the design of Gulfstar boats, but the quality is another matter. It is nice to see one without massive water stains under all of the windows. I believe the owner took exceptional care of that one. Nice job of finding another good example of a Gulfstar and as always an excellent overview.
Great episode, fellas! I laughed embarrassingly loud when Randay told to the Captain to “smoke it and find out.” My submission for the name of the new pup is Sea Biscuit, cuz she’s about the size of a biscuit and she’s a cute little thing. At any rate… great work. I always love seeing a new episode with a new vessel. Take care!
Great video, lovely boat for sure.
Speck is the new dog's name.
Great project!
Skippered a Gulstar 60 #1, wonderful boat!
Your music is fantastic!
Varnish: At the time of application if moisture gets into the polyurethane/varnish it creates a little cloud in the finish. So... it may have been very moist (high humidity) at time of application of the polyurethane/varnish.
I own a 1982 Hughes Columbia 29C. Great boat!!!
Humbug for the dog name !
Cheers.
My black lab when I was a kid was named Beaver, he could swim like the dickens and would chase ducks and geese in ponds for hours and hours. Great retriever, great bird dog, he could find grouse, partridge, and woodcock better than any dog before or since.
I think a 10 for the room it’s got a nice ability of it
Great boat.
Thanks, gentlemen.
The young pup...how about Lil' Scupper!
I saw the name Sea Hawk on that life ring. I think Sea Hawk would be the perfect name for the puppy.
Sea dogs friend, Li'l Buddy. Nice boat.
They all do need that Loving tender care but it’s getting somebody to make your dinner lol
I have also had three Sinbads.
Wow Captain Q! We love your spirit, and your knowledge on boats. You inspire us to go out there to finally take that step to buy a yacht and discover the world on the water. We do not know much about sailing. We get a lot of comments from our viewers that we do not know what we are getting ourselves into etc, and that is true.. But at the same time we are new to all of this, so we do not really know if we will succeed in going on with our story. Right now we are looking for at a Hunter 42 Passage. If the boat is in a good state, could you consider this boat being a blue water boat? Love Dirk & Maraya
Randay comes through with the "Dry" humor !!!
Sea Dog's cousin's name should be "Salty" (as in Salty Dog).
And.. in my line of work, AIS is "aquatic invasive species".
imagine if your ais vhf system went off indicating an aquatic invasive pecimen ....it would be an ais- ais moment
That was ok. Still hoping for a funky pilot house boat. Not a Gulf Star please. The puppy?? SeaBisket.......or maybe since you came out......SeaWeed.
Scupper pup!
wow. I really like this one. Scuppers after the sailor dog or Egge for Eggemogin Reach for little doggy.
Please call the little dog "Sea Biscuit".
Spot 👍🏻 Not big enough for a splash 😁❗️SeaDog’s nephew’s name😂
Those cockpit scuppers would drain great through scavenging effect of being below the waterline.
I love that cockpit folding table‼️
Love it
Dinty the dog!
wow i would love to have this boat. seams priced right another 50k would make this boat a great world cruiser.
The puppy should shall be named scuppy or scupper!°
I think that puppy is a Sea Biscuit if I ever saw one!
Capt Q and Randy,
Your big fan visiting Russia missed last one was busy in St Petersburg. Now in Sochi with a little more time. Introducing your channel to some locals, maybe more subs.
Another great working man's opportunity (and as a commented before) I looked at Calypso, so using that boat as a benchmark it's value after a little refit. IMO
How about the pups name Blacky? 🤙🏻🇺🇲🇷🇺
Did Captain Q forget the 1 point for the neatness inside the navigation table? Or did the 19 (before the reduction) include it?
What a great boat this one is!
I think a good name for the little one would be "Dinghy"...
Hi Capt., thanks for the highlight...
I liked it
Nice boat at a reasonable price
"Pup Seal" gets my vote.
How about Dinghy, for the small puppup?!?!? Great show guys! See you in Annapolis?
The name that came to mind for that pup is Tink. Thanks for the great inspiration, Currently looking for a live aboard. I’m looking hard at the Vagabond 47. Thoughts on that boat?
Always liked gulfstars. But after 2 project boats. I want a simple sailboat around thirty feet full keel. I going into Specifics, a sturdy easy to handle boat, that I could spent the night on or a week on. Gimbal stove, decent head/shower, tiller steering, Almost got a Moody 28 but it needed major work.
A great name for the little puppy progeny should be Progeny.
Should be called "CP" for "Sea Puppy" :P
I think Sailor is a good name for Sea Dog’s new friend!
It's in the contract! Haha
Nice size indoors
How about Moody for the pup! Also great boats, hope you find one for a review!!
Captain first off you and #1 Son due a truly great job. Always have loved boats, even own some, but even if I man didn't he surely could pass the time watching and learning from you two ..btw who was that smiling handsome young man in the flash back???.
My question today is ....is this boat a Gulfstream....or a Gulfstar ??? I have always been impressed with the Gulfstar 50, to the point of wanting one....tks. Stay safe...
puppy should be called scupper
...I like this...
I vote for Scupper!
A suggested name for Seadog's cousin, Scupper puppy !!!
Call Sea Dog's cousin, "Leaway."
Sea Biscuit for the pup
Capt, first wanna say we love your channel and have watched 98% of your videos! But… we have to say something here… we are the recent purchasers of a 1981 Gulfstar 44cc (only a few #s off this presented boat) and wife and I might be a little Salty that you rated the boat so low. Granted… asking price is CONSIDERABLY higher on this than what we paid for ours and it is undergoing a major refit. Which only makes It seem worse with the low rating… That being said even ours surveyed fair market value of 60k! I’m glad we got our hands on one of these relatively unknown and under appreciated boats! Some have compared to Hylas 44’s! and some have considered top choice by cruising world… Fast, stable and built solidly! Def should have rated mid 20’s! (But we’re now biased) ;).
Sorry about the apparent discrepancy
I seriously liked the boat and I think they are good looking. This one needed enough tlc I just couldn’t get too carried away. I would take Her In a minute.
And do remember my rating system is very very involved. Lol thanks for your note and enjoy your vessel
I like that galley setup on the girl, do the stuffing box go bad or any other components from sitting on the hard so long?
I would like to suggest the name of, "Salty" for the puppy. She will obviously be spending most of her days at sea.
Good name for sea dogs pal is Bruin
"Blackie" would be a good name!
Diesel, best name
That looks like a good buy.. how does the Capt find em?..
yea! the new EP just arrived...timing's perfect, by far the best way to enjoy lunch!...Sea Dog's thinking oh no what is THIS !? ,btw a little caution (our Shadow was a puppy once) so, (~:59) if you think Sea Pup's hopeful look is for her own safety gear (like Sea Dog's) in case of K-9OB, she is not, she's a wild, unruly, rambunctious puppy, it's something to tear around the boat with and shred... so I'd wait on that!! hmmm, how about Sea Q (army def)?
Nice boat Cap,,, also, stay in the boat bz, you 'Ed never Make it doing loops. Lol,,,,,,,
Love the video thank you my question is the music love the music you play great Jazz who is the Band thank you again
The lil one should be Guppie.
I like the boat layout floor plan, but I don't think their is enough room on the aft deck for me to mount my traversable Water Balloon Ballista or Catapult, for those occasional sailby's when I am feeling like hoisting the Jolly Rogers.
oh but there is look more closely
Dog name: Seabiscuit.
