1986 Gulfstar Hirsch 45

The Gulfstar Hirsch 45 Halcyon is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for bluewater cruising. At 45 feet in length with a 13-foot beam, she combines the sturdy construction and seaworthiness the Hirsch design is known for with a package of practical upgrades suited to extended offshore voyaging and liveaboard use.

Below deck, the yacht offers two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable accommodation for a cruising couple or small family. The layout prioritizes livability for time spent at sea or anchored away from shore.

The Perkins diesel has been rebuilt, ensuring reliable auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and motoring through calms. The rigging has been updated, and the yacht carries solar power generation as part of her cruising systems, reducing reliance on engine hours for battery charging. These additions reflect a thoughtful approach to self-sufficiency during extended passages and time in remote anchorages.
