80 units have been built.
The Gulfstar 43 is a light sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. 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.
