Used Gulfstar 37 Sailboats for Sale

The Gulfstar 37 represents a significant pivot point in the history of Gulfstar Yachts. Launched in 1976 and produced through 1979, it arrived during what researchers and brokers often call the company’s "middle phase." During this era, founder Vince Lazzara moved away from the heavy, under-canvased motor-sailers that had characterized the brand's early 1970s output. Instead, the 37 was designed as a dedicated performance cruiser, featuring a fin keel and a skeg-hung rudder. This model was famously distributed in the Northeast by Ted Hood, a testament to its improved sailing credentials compared to its predecessors. While it shares the "overbuilt" heavy-displacement philosophy of its era, the 37 was engineered to be a legitimate coastal and offshore voyager, bridging the gap between the "floating condominiums" of the early years and the high-performance yachts like the Gulfstar 50 that would follow.
