Overview
About this vessel
Designed by Vince & Richard Lazarra and built by Gulf Star Yachts, Duet is a true blue water cruiser, having completed over 10,000 nautical miles across the US East Coast, Bahamas, Caribbean and Pacific, including a successful passage from Panama to Brisbane.
This solid GRP vessel (22 gross tons) features a "sea-easy" deep fin keel hull that parts waves with ease and maintains momentum even in choppy conditions. Despite her heavy displacement, she sails smoothly in winds over 10 knots, assisted by a short 56 ft mast (from waterline) that helps her remain comfortably upright.
Powered by a reliable 75 hp Yanmar turbo engine (2011) with only 2,068 hours and supported by a 9.5 kW Kubota generator (approx. 1,900 hours), Duet is self-sufficient for extended cruising. She carries approx. 165 gallons of diesel (flexible bladder tank), 450 gallons of fresh water and features a water maker and 40 L hot water system.
The interior is practical and spacious, accommodating up to seven. Layout includes V-berth for two, convertible double in the saloon, single berth to starboard, and a queen berth in the private aft cabin with ensuite head and shower. A separate companionway provides private access to the aft cabin. A drop-down saloon adds to her versatility.
Comfort includes reverse cycle air conditioning with three units (v-berth, saloon and aft cabin), two large top-loading refrigeration boxes (one with freezer), and a dedicated large freezer.
Sails and rigging are in excellent condition: new high-end genoa (2021), standing rigging and chainplates replaced (2018), and a well-maintained 2013 main sail. A scuba compressor, full set of tools and spares are also included.
Topsides were painted in 2017 and the hull in 2024. Duet is ready for her next offshore adventure.
