Gulfstar 29 Pilothouse

Interested on Gulf pilothouse 29,question I have is regarding the chainplates supporting the lateral shrouds as they are placed inboard thru deck,concern if owners have water leaks? problems,or any other known problems to be aware when looking at a potential buy. thank you David  

Re: Gulf 29 Pilothouse To be specific, you're talking about a Capital Yachts "Gulf 29" (not "Gulfstar" 29), correct? GULF 29 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com I don't have any experience with the Gulf 29 but we own a Gulf 32... the hulls are very different but the interiors and cabin tops are, I believe, quite similar. The G32's do have internal chainplates, and when we were looking at different boats for sale there were ones that showed evidence of leaking. However, at least on the G32, the chainplate is out there to see and both sides of the bolts are visible, so hopefully if they're leaking you will be able to see visual evidence in the ruined varnish / wood. If there is evidence then you're going to want to know if it's an ongoing problem or a former problem that was fixed. Given the age of most of these, most of the ones we saw had some evidence of having leaked in the past. Also look on the cabin sole below the chainplates... some owners have fixed (or not fixed) the leak and then repaired the varnish, but neglect to repair damage to trim or cabin sole below the leak so you might see evidence of a leak there as well. At least on the G32, you can rebed the chainplate cover without having to undo the stays (probably not quite as bombproof as if you actually removed the stays, but...), although there is a forward baby stay that you have to undo before you can rebed it (it's not really to a chainplate as best I can tell just bolted into the hull, but haven't investigated that much yet). The pilothouse windows are known leak potential, especially if they're original (not sure how the originals were bedded, but it didn't last 30 years, that's for sure). Also do careful inspection of v-berth for leaks, specifically under the hatch as it's not a true water tight hatch (so a leak there might not indicate potential deck integrity problems but can still be a source of water infiltration into the v-berth with the following damage). Can't speak to the sailing / motoring characteristics of the G29 as it's a completely different hull (more like a Newport 28, fin keel and spade rudder, lower displacement) from the G32 (full keel, much heavier boat) but we sure like the interior, and not having a lot to compare it to I would say the build is decent (ours is a 1988) for that era factory boat. -- Bass  

Re: Gulf 29 Pilothouse thank you very much for your posting I really appreciate taking the time. These are quite old boats and only an owner can shed this type of info. In general I dont mind the "normal"shortcomings" of older boats,I used to have a Tartan 34 vintage 78 and what you described is something am used to,it seems after your input will be looking at either a 29 or 32,Pilothouse is becoming a necessity if I want to continue sailing. Thank you again Will post if I find "my boat" thanks again David

Brokers Comments: This is a well setup sailboat for recreational sailing. Easy to move around the deck and comfortable handling by a single person. The interior is clean, sharp, and accommodating with ample seating, a forward berth and quarter berth, with a large saloon table for family and friends. My favorite is the inside helm, able to navigate in all weather staying dry and comfortable.

The Gulf 29 is a fiberglass recreational keelboat, with wood trim. She has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, and an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by two wheels, one in the cockpit and one in the wheelhouse, and a fixed fin keel.

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)

Probably an extended version of the earlier GULF 27.
