2017 Gunboat 55' (16.76 m) 55 | 56ft

Hull 9 of the Gunboat 55, Starship's decks and hull were constructed utilizing epoxy-infused carbon and corecell foam cores by Gunboat in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, she was finished by Croswait Composites in Wanchese, North Carolina. This 55 was commissioned with ease-of-use and safety in mind, with a focus on owner-operability. While she ticks off the miles with ease and comfort, her systems and sail plan were designed to provide her owners with the ultimate safe yet sprightly cruiser. Starship's long waterline alongside a modest beam result in a very stable, agreeable motion underway in any conditions. Her centerboards offer a minimum draft of 3'8", allowing entry to the most any depth-challenged destination, and their maximum draft of 9'2" provide maximum upwind performance. These centerboards are line-controlled, and in the event of grounding, allow the centerboard to simply retract into it's casing, minimizing the risk of damage beyond line replacement.
