1978 Gulf Coast 23 with swing keel and has been kept on a trailer except for the time it was under sail. The trailer is a tilt trailer with new tires purchased this year including a spare. I installed all the extraneous hardware and the boat is rigged to put the sails up from the cockpit area. This boat has the spreaders mounted strait out from the mast as a more efficient setup.
