275 / 7320 - score 49%
The Gulfstar 53 ms is a 53.0ft masthead ketch designed by V. S. Lazzara and built in fiberglass by Gulfstar Yachts between 1971 and 1975.
27 units have been built.
The Gulfstar 53 ms is a light sailboat which is under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoffs for this request.
