Details
Over the past 2 years the live aboard couple has spent 9 months a year aboard with a 3 month annual haul out for hurricane season and preventive maintenance. Giving the buyer a “turn key boat” currently ready for any adventure”.
Gunsmoke is the Outremer 51 Owner’s Version, meaning she is has the 3 cabin layout. There is one suite on the port side and two suites on the starboard side. The interior layout has a classy design by Franck Darnet and the exterior has a functional layout that provides the sailors with a safe and high performing cat carrying so much comfort.
She has had the best type of caretaker over the last four years: a pilot. In my experience over the last 20 years, boats owned by pilots are maintained at a higher standard than all other owners. Pilots are used to having more at stake and carry that mindset, rightfully into the upkeep and care of their vessel. The other great aspect of this type of owner is the urge to explore. In the last few years Gun Smoke as sailed all over the Mediterranean Sea and transatlantic crossing, all over the Caribbean all the way down to Trinidad and back up to the Bahamas and the East Coast of the United States.
CURRENTLY GUN SMOKE IS SAILING THE CHESAPEAKE, SCHEDULED TO BE HAULED SOUTH OF ANNAPOLIS JULY 20 – NOVEMBER 1.
Here are some of the notable upgrades and maintenance jobs the owner has completed:

- 2023 New Coppercoat bottom
