I am completely restoring our 1979 Gulfstar Sailmaster 47 sloop in Stockton CA. My wife and I are from Anchorage AK and have been sailing out of Seward AK since 1983. We sold our Nordic 34 sloop 2 years ago and found this Sailmaster here in Stockton. We are basically rebuilding her from the bottom up. All Blisters and bottom completely redone. Old Perkins 6-354 removed and new Perkins Sabre 135 installed. Old Onan genset removed. New Mase 8.1 installed. All new ports and hatches, new salon windows, new hydronic heating installed. New watermaker installed. New standing and running rigging as well as new sails. the list goes on and on. I would love to talk boats anytime. My phone # is 907-301-9974. I am currently installing an autopilot drive unit and would like to hear what you use. Please correspond with me via email at smbgusail@gmail.com.
