LIEFDE is a delightful Gulfstar 50, a classic in the cruising world of sailing yachts and one which has stood the test of timebeing proven in thousands of miles of sailing. Her owner of the last 27 years has decided it is time to more on and is now offering this cherished vessel to the next steward who will likely sail her to far of regions of the world.

LIEFDE has two private staterooms, each with its own fully equipped head and shower and vanity. Additionally, there is a crew cabin aft of the salon on the starboard side.

Those familiar with the brand also remember her excellent lighting, storage spaces for cruising gear and great ventilation. She sleeps six persons and eight in a pinch and has voluminous storage spaces for the times and places where long term cruising becomes part of the plan.

Lovingly cared for, and very fully equipped for extended coastal cruising, she represents and outstanding opportunity to acquire a cruise ready vessel, located in Uruguay, ready for a cruise in Argentina and Uruguay and beyond.
