Tropic Star is completely ready to go , with her owners actively onboard in the BVI currently. They have owned the boat many years, and always treated her like a home and are passionate yacht restoration specialists, talking the time and spending the money to do all the neatest things to make her safe, fast, fun and easy to use. Extensively refit around 2016, and then even more so in 2018, this heavily built cult classic is a Gulfstar 40 Center Cockpit , very rarely available on the used market as owners tend to just keep them, not sell them! She recently has had a new motor, new thru hulls, new batteries, new electrical system, new paint, new electric winches, new solar panels, new full canvas and enclosure, new dinghy and outboard, new hoses and plumbing, new toilets, new light fixtures, new electronics, NEW - NEW - NEW - NEW - NEW - you cant find a newer 1982 boat anywhere in the Caribbean! If you are seeking for a strong boat, with lots of space, well updated to provide a low problem potential with all new gear, then this is the boat for you.

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
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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)
Same hull as GULSTAR 39 SAILMASTER but with center cockpit.
Originally built for ‘The Moorings’ (charter co.).
AKA GULFSTAR 40 CC, SAILMASTER 40.
