Built to withstand the treacherous Southern Oceans from whence she came,Gstring was designed by Dudley Dix and built by Nebe yachts in Hout Bay, South Africa. Nebe also built the Shearwater 39 which was voted best cruising boat of the year some years back. Single handed by her first owner from the Cape of Storms in 1996, GSTRING has spent most of her Caribbean life on the hard in storage. She has just been refitted and sailed up from Trinidad to St Martin where she is used as a family weekender. All the through hulls, seacocks and the seals in the saildrive replaced. She was also completely rerigged by Budget Marine in Trinidad. New radar, battery bank, wind generator, plotter, an autopilot and a windvane, she is perfect as a budget blue water liveaboard circumnavigator or a weekender for someone who wants a real boat and not a clorox bottle. Being a racer/cruiser One Design ( of which 25 were built) she is quick off the mark too! The Hull shape was developed to maximise interior space relative to hull length while maintaining good hydrodynamic qualities. The waterline is fairly fine forward for beating ability but the forward sections flare above waterline to give reserve bouyancy and a dry ride. This flare works with a shallow forefoot and powerfull quarters to give excellent downwind control and speed while also maintaining a balanced waterplane when heeled. Sporting a decent sail wardrobe and a large double spreader rig, she is ready for the Heineken regatta,the Pacific or some local weekend getawayspot.Your Choice!!! Due to a bi lateral knee replacement her owner will be unable to use her for a year or so, so sadly she has to go. SIMPLE AND UNCLUTTERED…LOW MAINTENANCE SWEETHEART.
