**A Classic Center-Cockpit Cruiser**

The Gulfstar 44 is a well-built, traditional cruiser that will appeal to sailors looking for comfortable accommodations, a protected cockpit, generous tankage and storage, and a hull meant for serious cruising. *Interlude* is hull 58 of a production run of approximately 105 boats built between 1978 and 1984.

Her hull is constructed of hand-laid 18oz fiberglass cloth sandwiched with end-grain balsa, an encapsulated lead keel, and balsa coring on deck for strength and stiffness. She boasts a multitude of modern upgrades and improvements that make her a compelling choice for sailors whose plans include extended offshore or world cruising.

**On Deck**

Enjoy a fully enclosed center cockpit with a full suite of Raymarine ST60 series electronics, sail controls, and plenty of seating. With the addition of a Schaefer furling boom and electric winch, all sail handling — including reefing — can be done from the safety of the cockpit.

**Below Decks**

Stepping below, one is surrounded by varnished teak joinery — a testament to the build quality present aboard later Gulfstar models. A large central salon provides plenty of seating and recently upgraded upholstery. A step-down galley to port is large enough to prepare meals underway, with ample counter space and access to refrigeration. To starboard, a proper navigation station features a chart table and seating. The entire space is air conditioned.

**Aft Cabin**

Moving aft through a corridor provides access to the engine and mechanical room, leading to the aft cabin. Here, a king-size athwartship berth with custom mattresses offers comfortable berthing, complete with an en suite head, separate shower, aft portlights, and reading lights.

**Forward Cabin**

The forward cabin includes a V-berth with custom mattresses and an en suite head and shower.
