Gulfstar 40 hood
9 / 56 - score 59%
The Gulfstar 40 hood is a 40.17ft masthead sloop designed by Ted Hood and built in fiberglass by Gulfstar Yachts between 1976 and 1978.
19 units have been built.
The Gulfstar 40 hood is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
