The Gulfstar 40 Center Cockpit (CC) represents a fascinating and rare pivot point in the history of Gulfstar Yachts. Built primarily in 1982, this model was part of the "Golden Era" of the Florida builder, following a transition from highvolume, costfocused motorsailers toward higherquality performance cruisers. According to historical data from Murray Yacht Sales, approximately 12 units of the 40 CC were produced, many of which were commissioned specifically for The Moorings charter fleet. The vessel utilized the same successful hull mold as the Gulfstar 39 Sailmaster, but the deck was entirely redesigned to incorporate the centercockpit configuration and a dedicated private aft stateroom. This model is frequently distinguished from two other "40foot" Gulfstars: the earlier, volumeheavy Gulfstar 41 (1973–1975) and the highly regarded performanceoriented Ted Hooddesigned Gulfstar 40 (1976–1978), which was almost exclusively an aftcockpit sloop.
