Gulfstar 1979 Gulfstar 37 BELFAST
Belfast has become a cruising mecca here on the coast of Maine, attracting all manner of vessels, from mega yachts.

to very funky homebuilt boats like this one....

I'm going to check this evening after work and see if anyone is aboard, I would love to see the interior of this boat, the exterior is very interesting, Tom Y. may get some classics in Rockport but we've got him beat here in Belfast with the vast variety.

I think that second boat is called a Cormorant. You can buy the plans on the Duckworks site. I purchased a set many years ago and built a to-scale model.

If it is the same boat... it is a water ballasted boat.

Nice, Nat. Belfast is the happening harbor these days. I believe the New York YC visited a few weeks ago(?).

After nearly 4 weeks and 600 NM, putting Owls Head to Port, I know from experience to set the pilot on my home bearing, 000.

It's beautiful out there on the coast of Southern NE but I never get tired of returning to my harbor.

That 5 spreader boat was at Front Street Shipyard last month. I don't recall the name. Maybe Nat does.

Passed me like I was standing still. May be some truth to that waterline length formula.

There were several "large" sailing vessels in the harbor this season.
That boat in the picture was huge. Thought I saw Robin Leech on it...

There was another very large vessel tied up at the town dock who's mast lights were lit up like an airport runway at night. Very pretty boat, was flying a french flag I think.

Edited this post, didn't realize the 5 speader boat was in the pic above. What can I say, meds havn't kicked in yet....

Spotted this Jongert 3200M (Sunleigh) in Sopers Hole when we were down there in early December. 106.6 feet (32.5m) long. Check out the winches.
