GUNBOAT 55 SWEEPS 'BOAT OF THE YEAR' AWARDS         
Cruising World and Sailing World's 2015 BOTY

Closing out a whirlwind year, the GUNBOAT 55 was crowned Boat of the Year by both Cruising World and Sailing World magazines. Gunboat's first offering from its US production facility, the 55 has proven to be an all around winner in the eyes of both the media and the market. Just as the original GUNBOAT did 15 years ago, the 55 series has redefined the cruising cat segment. With 15 sold and showing no signs of slowing down, the GUNBOAT 55 is the brand's most successful series to-date. See for yourself why she's sweeping the awards. Contact Meg Minetree to schedule a visit.

GUNBOAT G4-01 continues to progress beautifully. Systems installation is underway, paint is nearly complete and a spring delivery is on track. The first G4 is expected to debut at Antigua Sailing Week. Not to be outdone by her big sister, the G4 recently took home her first accolade, Yachts and Yachting Magazine's 2015 Performance Boat of the Year. Are you ready to schedule your test flight?

Quietly in development for sometime now, Gunboat's newest series are gaining momentum. The new GUNBOAT 64 and GUNBOAT 70 will be built at company headquarters in Wanchese, North Carolina. Design and engineering are well underway, and with a capable production force already established, the first of each of the two new series are scheduled to launch in 2017. Contact Meg for more information.

An updated salon and skyscraping Hall rig are the highlights of a major refit performed by Newport Shipyard. With her new Doyle sails, she will be a force to be reckoned with. As the older GUNBOATs are powered up with larger sails and taller masts to keep pace with their newer sisters, we urge caution and safety to all this Caribbean season. When racing, always keep hands on the sheets! We can't wait to see TRIBE and the rest of the fleet on the racecourse.
