1999 Gozzard 37A

GWYNFA is a very nice example of the popular Gozzard 37A and is being sold by her original owner. The Gozzard 37 is known for its beautiful build quality and innovative design, providing a very flexible interior layout. She has been cruised primarily summers in Maine, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, spending her winters stored inside and has been well cared for. She is fully equipped for offshore sailing coastal cruising, or a nice afternoon sail with friends and family.

Hull and Deck Construction:

• The hull is constructed with knitted double bias E-glass RM (0-90) and XM (45-45) cloth and cored with 1/2" SPS Corecell foam using both vacuum bagging and hand-laid techniques. The core is eliminated and replaced with solid glass laminate in high load areas including the sheer line, centerline, keel, rudder post, and thru-hulls.
• External lead ballast is joined to the entire length of the keel bottom.
• The decks were designed for ease of use. They feature wide low-cambered side decks and bulwarks for sure footing in heeling conditions.
• The deck mold is FRP sandwich construction with 1/2" and 3/4" SPS Corecell with extra solid fiberglass laminate in high load areas.
• The hull deck joint is bedded in 3M 5200 and bolted on 6" centers with 5/16" machine bolts with aircraft-type nuts.
• There are full-length FRP rub rails painted to match the hull installed approximately 18" below the cap rail with stainless steel chafe strips.
• The rudder shaft is 1 1/2" diameter 316 stainless steel.
• The rudder is constructed with a stainless web that is welded to the shaft. It is heavily glassed to one of the two 1/4" fiberglass skin halves. The foils are then cored and assembled together. The cosmetic joint between the two skins is glassed over and faired. To prevent water intrusion 3M 5200 is used where the rudder shaft exits the rudder. The entire rudder was coated with Interprotect 2000 barrier coat.
• An emergency tiller is stored in a custom cutout under one of the cockpit locker lids.
• The skeg is built much like the rudder except considerably heavier. A stainless steel bolt spider is permanently bolted with epoxy to the hull.
• All main or structural bulkheads are constructed with cored fiberglass laminates that are strong and rot-resistant. The main bulkhead has a cherry veneer face. The bulkheads are initially glassed to the hull and subsequently to the deck providing additional structural strength.
• The interior has a closed-grid structure that combines stringers and floor assemblies. Whenever possible, all wooden structures are glassed to the hull or deck to minimize unsupported panel size.
