Hull and Deck The Gulfstar 50 is solid laminate GRP construction with a molded keel and internally ballasted. The keel is a modified fin-type keel, followed by a cutaway and then a skeg mounted rudder. The deck is cored except in areas of high load and/or hardware, where it is a solid laminate and then there are backing plates that are drilled and tapped or thru-bolted. The hull-to-deck marriage is done with an internal flange and the deck is then sealed, thru-bolted, and then finished off with a raised teak toe rail.
