FOR SALE BY OWNER - Great cruising, and spacious liveaboard sailing yacht. Sabbatical is a 1977 Gulfstar 50 center cockpit Mark II Ketch. We have been the sole owner and cruising part of the year aboard her for over 20 years, while constantly upgrading her. She is the 3 cabin model with a classic teak interior. Recent upgrades include new standing rigging, the addition of 400 watts of solar panels, new genoa, addition of Adler Barbour 12 volt refrigeration and the addition of a new bowsprit/anchor pulpit. The auxilliary diesel engine is a reliable 85 HP Perkins 4-236. We have recently sailed her offshore from Venezuela and the ABC islands back to the US and she is fully equipped for offshore sailing and already equipped for long term cruising and liveaboard. At the moment, this sailboat is located in Ft. Lauderdale. We will be temporarily aboard during April and scheduling showings during that time. Asking price has been reduced to $99,500 during this time and we will consider all serious offers for a quick sale while we are at the boat. If interested, please contact us by email at alhnelson@aol.com. You can also contact us by phone before April 8th at (303)258-3745.
