1972 Gulfstar Center Cockpit Motorsailer

This layout is called a  2 Cabin Center Cockpit Walkover. There are two companionways, one aft to the private cabin which has twin bunks and port side bunk is convertible to double size, There is a large head with separate shower stall and lots of stowage available. Another head is situated forward.

The large comfortable V-Berth forward also has an abundance of stowage room. Moving aft on the port side is a fine navigation station and a large galley. Moving aft from V-Berth on the starboard side you will find a large storage cabinet and a booth style dinette.

THERE IS A LARGE, OPEN ENGINE ROOM UNDER THE COCKPIT ALLOWING EXCELLENT ACCESS TO THE ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT LOCATED THERE. IT CAN BE ENTERED FROM EITHER CABIN.

Canadian Venture is a fine example of this much loved center cockpit sloop rigged motorsailer. Despite her age she brings a smile to your face when you examine and see for yourself how loved and cared for she has been over the last 20 years. If you are just getting into the idea of cruising and are on a restricted budget, Canadian Venture may be the vessel for you. She is ready to take you on your first adventure.

With the aft cabin option, you will enjoy privacy aboard and have room to live and move about comfortably.

Whilst she is not known to be the quickest of sailing boats she is more than capable of cruising under engine at around 6 knots comfortably and maintaining 5 knots in a fair wind under sail. T

The Gulfstar 36 Center Cockpit Sloop Rigged Motorsailer is an ideal first boat or even the ideal vessel to own before purchasing a $100,000 +  Trawler.
