'Dulces Suenos', Gulfstar Sailmaster 47 For Sale

by LuAnne Woods
(St. Petersburg, FL USA)

'Dulces Suenos' is a classic cruising luxury motorsailor.

Built in 1980, by Gulfstar in Pinellas Park, Florida with attention to detail and comfort. She has sailed as far north as Maine and south to the BVI's. The current owners have sailed her and cruised her on and off for 11 years.

She's suitable for bluewater sailing or the seasonable cruiser. She rests well on the hook in any weather or sails gracefully in 5 foot seas with 25 knot winds....but will sail well with is few as 8 knots of wind.

She's usually the envy of every anchorage. She's presently located in Gulfport, Florida on the west central coast of Florida, just minutes to the Gulf of Mexico.
