Introducing LIEFDE, a charming Gulfstar 50 that has earned its reputation as a classic in the cruising sailing yacht community, with a proven track record of thousands of miles on the water. After 27 years of dedicated ownership, her current steward is ready to pass this beloved vessel to the next adventurer, who will undoubtedly take her to distant shores. LIEFDE features two private staterooms, each equipped with its own head, shower, and vanity, along with a crew cabin located aft of the salon on the starboard side. Known for its excellent lighting, ample storage for cruising gear, and outstanding ventilation, this yacht comfortably accommodates six people, with the option to sleep eight in a pinch. Her generous storage compartments are perfect for long-term cruising endeavors. Meticulously maintained and fully outfitted for extended coastal voyages, LIEFDE is an exceptional opportunity to own a ready-to-sail vessel, currently docked in Uruguay, and poised for adventures in Argentina and beyond. The main salon includes a dining table and two berths, while the crew cabin offers additional sleeping space with upper and lower berths. The gimballed galley, newly updated in 2010, includes an oven, a microwave, a double sink with hot/cold water, a large freezer powered by the main engine, and a shared 12V refrigerator. Comfort is ensured with dual air conditioning units providing both cooling and heating. The engine, a Perkins 4-236 Diesel installed in 1992, is complemented by modern safety features like a CO2 automatic fire suppression system, low oil pressure alarm, and bilge pumps. The generator compartment houses a Northern Lights 5 kW generator installed in 2000, along with a Village Marine watermaker capable of producing 18 gallons per hour. Navigation from the cockpit is easy with wheel steering and an array of instruments including autopilot, depth sounder, VHF radio, and GPS. On deck, you will find a robust anchor system, electric windlass, multiple mooring lines, and an inflatable dinghy with a Honda outboard motor. Safety equipment includes a life raft for six, life jackets, and various regulatory safety gear. The electrical system features a 110-volt setup with a transformer, a 100 Amp battery charger, and brand new batteries as of 2025. The rigging and sails have been well-maintained, with all standing rigging replaced in 2009 and multiple sails in excellent condition. Additional features include a locking gun cabinet, a gas heater, air conditioning systems, and an array of spare parts. LIEFDE is ready to embark on new journeys, equipped with both paper and electronic charts for navigation across the USA, Caribbean, North Atlantic, Bermuda, Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde, and the Brazilian coast.
