• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Gulfstar 36 Trawler
I am trying to find a mast and boom for a 1972 Gulfstar 36' Trawler as the one that I have just purchased does not have one. I would appreciate any help in locating one for sale. I would also appreciate the dimensions of same (with an eye towards making one) with as much detail as possible (cable size & attach points) as to the rigging arrangements. Pictures would be very helpful. Thanks! gts1544 - George

PS - PM me and I will send my e-mail address to better communicate.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want one? For the looks? Having the staysail available to keep from rolling is nice, but there are other ways to accomplish the same thing (flopper stoppers). And having that mast sticking up there means that sometimes you cannot go under a bridge which you could otherwise go under with ease. I have a mast on my boat, because I do not need to go under bridges. But it really serves no particular purpose for me. I just like the looks of it. :)

Kvw613, I tried to send my e-mail address and phone number via PM only to be told that since I was not a trusted member, the PM could not be sent. I have messaged the webmaster to find out how to rectify this problem. Expect to hear from me in the near future. Thanks. gts1544 -- George

jwnall, Thanks for the food for thought!
 
From what I've read elsewhere, the original mast and staysail on a Gulfstar has only about 60 square feet of sail area. This wouldn't be enough for roll reduction under power or get-home propulsion. You'd need a minimum of 10X the sail area on your boat for this.

However, It may be of some use for aligning the boat to the wind when at anchor, or perhaps for lifting a dinghy.
 
Thanks to all who weighed in on this thread. While I still don't have the hardware or dimensions of same, it has given me pause to think this through and some good viewpoints. gts1544 - George

If you really and truly think that you just have to have the dimensions, then let me know exactly what you want and I will measure mine and give them to you.
