Gulfstar 37

Gulfstar 37 is a 37 ′ 0 ″ / 11.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Vince & Richard Lazarra and built by Gulfstar Yachts between 1976 and 1979.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Review of Gulfstar 37

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.46 - 1.56 meter (4.79 - 5.09 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Perkins 4.108 diesel engine at 50 hp (37 kW).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.6 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Gulfstar 37 is about 239 kg/cm, alternatively 1338 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 239 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1338 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 37m 2 (398 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Wanderlust is our 1978 Gulfstar aft-cockpit 37.

We bought her in May 2005 after the previous owners did a three-month hauled refit, spent the summer doing another full refit, left San Francisco in October and sailed more than 5000nm to Zihuatanejo, Mexico and back.

The Gulfstar 37 is a perfect couple's coastal cruiser; an ideal compromise between a fast modern boat (uncomfortable in strong weather) and a heavier full-keel cruiser (slow and unenjoyable to sail). Vizcaino Bay - the open stretch before Turtle Bay halfway down the Baja - is a place where you'll want a Gulfstar.

I welcome all comments and reviews on this boat, particularly its sailing qualities and performance. thanks  

1978 gulfstar 37 sailboat

Very strong hull,comfortable livreabord,engine room a nightmare(unless you 4ft tall,2ft round with 6ft arms capable of lifting 200 lbs).They are very dry,seldom water over bow.Need to rig sail to hold in wind a t anchor will sit side sea,Had one & would recommend.marc ps very attractive,  

i have sailed hundreds of miles on an 1981 model. great boat. handles weather really well. not as fast as some but definitely comfortable.  

I've owned a 1979 Gulfstar 37 sloop for 23 years now and can reliably say that except for tight access to the engine room the vessel is well thought out and has served us well in all types of seas and weather. It's a roomy comfortable vessel with exceptional storage space due to it's 12' 9" beam that's carried aft almost to the stern. We've had to sail in 12' seas with wind gusting to 35 for ten hours from Nantucket, through Woods Hole and into Buzzards Bay to the Cape Cod Canal and she took it all well. That being said for heavy weather, it is by no means a dog in light air. I would recommend this boat to anyone. You'll feel safe and secure in most any weather and the wide beam carried aft allows not only for a longer waterline and higher computed hull speed, but offers a roomy main salon, head, V berth and storage below decks. The cockpti is wide, long and roomy as well. What convinced me on a Gulfstar at the time was that Ted Hood was the sole distributer for them in the NE when they were still being made by Gulstar in St Perersbug, Fl. We still sail it around Cape Cod and the islands and I often sail singlehanded. It's a very forgiving boat and will treat you well.

Gulfstar yachts review: a complicated history.

1978 gulfstar 37 sailboat

Gulfstar Yachts was founded in 1970 by Vincent Lazzara in Tampa Bay, Florida. Mr. Lazzara was fresh off a two year forced absence from the power and sailboat building business. As part of selling his share in Columbia Yachts, he signed a non-compete clause and boded his time building houseboats. In 1970, Mr. Lazzara was already a legendary figure who had invented a snap-shackle variation, helped build one of the first fiberglass sailboats in the Rhodes designed Bounty II, and was involved with Columbia Yachts which was one of the leading early builders of fiberglass sailboats. But, his greatest legacy was to be Gulfstar Yachts.

1978 gulfstar 37 sailboat

Mr. Lazzara drawing on his experience decided to produce sailboat hulls that could double as trawlers. With a different deck mold and larger engine, Gulfstar delivered 53 and 36-foot trawlers while by stepping a mast, they had 53 and 36 motorsailers. He tapped into the floating condominium mentality of the public and built exactly what would sell. The sailboats had great accommodation but poor performance with their shoal draft, short rigs, and wide beam. Other boats produced during this era include a 43 trawler and 44 motorsailer.

While Mr. Lazzara was experienced in boat building, his crew at the Tampa Bay factory were not. In the early Gulfstar years, the workmanship bordered on criminal. Some choices were made to save money and produce boats inexpensively. The interiors were full of Formica. The ballast was iron in concrete slurry. But other problems had less to do with philosophy and more to do with poor practices. The balsa cored decks did not have solid radii of glass around deck hardware and were not sealed with resin either. They did not use backing plates for cleats. Workmen according to a former yard hand would carelessly cut holes in the deck and leave unfinished hulls out in the rain. Gulfstars still to this day cannot shake the poor quality reputation from their mistakes made in the early 1970’s.

Around 1975, Mr. Lazzara felt that consumer tastes were changing. Instead of beamy motorsailers, high performance yachts were coming into vogue. Gulfstar would have to evolve. They introduced a 50-foot high performance sailboat that would become one of their most famous designs, the Gulfstar 50 . It was an era of evolution where they shifted from iron to lead ballast and Formica to classic dark teak interiors. They even changed their logo from a star to a wreath.

Gslogo

By 1978, the workmanship had significantly improved. They patented a process and developed a special plywood to camber edges. All the bulkheads they nicely laminated, all the corners nicely radiused. The joinery work would slowly rival the best in the industry. They did not go completely away from motorsailers and still produced some poor performing shoal draft, short rig, beamy motorsailers like the Gulfstar 47 Sailmaster series. But all their models in the late 1970’s had much better quality construction than the early 1970’s versions.

1978 gulfstar 37 sailboat

Gulfstar Yachts and all builders during this era had to grapple with the oil embargo and low supply of resin. To save resin, Mr. Lazzara used a 50% glass to resin ratio which was unheard of in those days. These days this ratio is standard as we have found out that the glass not resin rich laminate holds the strength. Despite this innovation, the discovery came along with serious growing pains, and many Gulfstars of this era have had blister problems. Whether due to their fluctuating resin ratios, the chopper gun, or the lack of vinylester resins, Gulfstars in this era until the mid 1980’s have a history of blister problems.

In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Vincent Lazzara’s two sons became involved in the company. R.C. Lazzara started designing the Gulfstar yachts of this era. By the 1980’s, the workmanship was as good or better than any other manufacturer out there. They continued to produce fine teak interiors and performance oriented sailboats such as the Gulfstar 44 and Gulfstar 60 designs. Along with these sailboats, they produced displacement motor yachts such as the 44 and 48 designs.

As they progressed into the mid 1980’s, their production shifted towards powerboats and away from the performance sailboats. The sons were more power boat guys. Maybe the height of their sailboat skill is the 54 Sail Cruiser whose stunning interior joiner work, soft ride, and quality construction is about the opposite of Gulfstar’s early days. In the late 1980’s, Gulfstar moved mostly to motor yachts. They still produced some interesting sailboats including some for the CSY charter fleet such as the 50, 45 Hirsch, and 42. They for years discussed a merger with Vikings Yachts, a power boat builder. Finally in 1990, Gulfstar sold its assets to Viking Yachts. The sons moved onto found Lazzara Yachts, a current mega-yacht builder in the Tampa Bay area.

 i have a 1976 43′ trawler. the constitution seems antiquity but there are stress cracks at the back of the upper station to the cabin top over my aft berth. long and wide spans  over the aft cabin and over the main saloon.  I’ve been thinking of polls center in the saloon and at the foot of the bed (2 poster at the foot) before it gets weak and costs me $.

Editorial note:  one does not “bode” one’s time.

Do you know the height clearance of mast on 1978 Gulfstar 37 sloop

Actually, “bode” is acceptable past tense of the verb “bide.” The corrected spelling of the author’s phrase would have been: “he signed a non-compete clause and bode his time building houseboats.” Also acceptable would have been “…bided his time…”

27 years ago, I now have the desire for a larger . Looking at a 37 which looks comfortable and sea worthy. I have heard issues with the build quality of the line and am interested in just "how well" this given it's weight and design. Specifically how it does in light winds and tacking into the . Also if this model boat is handicaped to more expensive upkeep costs given it's varying build quality. Our sailing is intended to be coastal crusing and .

Boat: Cal 40 (sold). Still have a Hobie 20
, here is a sail calculator. Be careful, I believe that the information is input by owners, and therefore might not be accurate.


I don't know the sailing conditions where you are, but if it is like here in where there is a lot more light air than not, I don't think that you would be happy with a sail area/displacement of 13.5 especially if the idea is to go out for a daysail. I have friends, one with a Gulfstar 39 and and another with a OI 41, both of which I have seen basically parked while I am sailing. Of course they both have nicer accommodations than my old designed for ocean 40. If the main idea is to go sailing, and you want to sail in light air I think you need to at least look for a SA/D of 16, 18 would be better. I haven't sailed the Gulfstar, but I don't remember it having difficulties pointing, the on the other hand, you could see the wake come off the stern at an angle while trying to go upwind.

I don't know anything about the quality of Gufstar.

Boat: Gulfstar Sailmaster 39 Freespirit
fairly heavy design at 28,000 lbs empty . She draws 5' 6 " but Gulfstar says 4' 9" . I have had the boat for about 2.5 yrs and did have problems with and after I purchased the boat found delaminations from the manufactures application of two layers of wolving roving back to back . I had the problem fixed in which also got rid of the .
As far as the boat it is concerned it is a fantastic boat and worth all the
and expense . The boat great and does not beat you to death .
The boat handles the and sea well but needs at least 10 knots of wind to move , the boat needs no reefing till 25 to 30 knots of wind. My is to look at the Gulfstar 39 the may be close and the boat are very close in spec's . The important thing is to check the boat out good so you get what you pay for . The Gulfstar does have good to hull joint which is glassed well and the overall build is very strong . The boat is a great with great confort and room . Check them out if you find a good one you will love them . Good luck and may fair winds be yours .

. Although there is usually wind and seas, I have had a boat that did not do anything in light wind and it is dissapointing. The qualities be being safe and comfortable especially on a body of that can change quickly from sun to to wind to big seas all in a day is a big plus. It may be a big boat to maintain but it looks like a lot of value. Thanks - MattS

Boat: Gulfstar Sailmaster 39 Freespirit
95 to 125 foot draggers although 31 yrs ago and learned not to be afraid.
The main thing is you have to understand is a bigger boat can't be manhandled to and from the or what ever . To get a 125 ft boat you use spring lines and etc. You have to think of what is going to happen to the boat before you make a move or another way of looking at it is know your boat and plan ahead.
I own the S/V Freespirit which is 39.7 long beam of 12.1 and very heavy and I hand it with no problem and I am partly disabled after having eight operations on my arms and shoulders and have two bad dics in my back.
My point you have to use your not your back . I set up my lines and fenders before I and look at the other boats which way are the facing into the wind or , and come in that way .
Displacement boats (most sail boats are reacting to if it is strong and when you come into the current you have flow across your and therefore Control . If I have to come into the dock and its a strong cross current and heavy winds I don't come to the dock without help ( a man has to know his limitations and wait till slack tide and milder winds.
I refuse to not sail because no one wants to go but do it safe plan ahead and pickyour days . I keep my boat on a and that also helps abit . One more thing I love being along some of the best sailing can be done alone but you need to have you s--t together I don't wait till stuff breaks and don,t wait till hell lets loose to get a reef in.
There is no perfect boat but you have to know yours well I hope I made you fill better about it just grab it by the horns you will love it.
May fair winds fill your sails
