Re: 47'Custom Aluminum Performance Cruiser Gary Mull Design

Rob, I think dredging specs are for deeper water than my boat so harbors have always been good. The California delta is where I spent the most time. No problems there. Mexico all good. The main thing about the design is it sails great. It sails like a race boat but has all the specs for world cruising. The skeg hung rudder, strong light hull, tall rig, and it is the driest boat my wife and I have ever been on. We have 6 ocean passages on lots of boats Most with similar drafts. That includes the Med the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean. The Bahama's on an Amel to Georgia. Florida to the Bahama's. Sweden, Wetern Africa to the Caribbean. Hawaii to SF, Canada to Mexico and Back. Many trips between Mexico and San Francisco. Sri Lanka to the Med.
No you can't park it on the beach but you can sail it in really light air.

Re: 47'Custom Aluminum Performance Cruiser Gary Mull Design

Hi there. Couldn't resist relating that our family boat was an aluminum Gary Mull performance cruiser that looks awfully similar to Mucho Gusto. Ironically, we had ours built in Sebastapol! I can vouch that we were very happy with the design which blended performance and comfort perfectly for a blue water cruiser that was cruised for 12 years in Mexico and the Caribbean. Aluminum is such a great hull material - the 2 reef encounters that we had the reef lost and the boat sailed away with only some scratched paint. Good luck on finding the right (and lucky) buyer.

This is a beautiful looking boat. What is the tiled space forward of the v-berth?

Was your boat Avatar? I believe you won one of the first Bandaras Bay Regattas, Not only strong but fast.

The pilot port side berth is queen size with a slight taper, the tiled area actually has a tub made of aircraft honeycomb with a fiber glass skin.

Thought it looked like a tub. Very cool. Don’t see that every day.

Always thought a tub would be nice.

I have a lot of interest at this new $150,000 price. Was in contract but the guy couldn't come up with the money. Should be in contract again soon.
