30' S&S Gulfstream 30 #2 (1956) - STEP LIVELY (ex Tawney)

This is hull #2 of the Gulfstream 30 class (Design #1147 by Sparkman and Stephens). She was built in 1956 for Dr. Gould and sailed from Southampton Long Island for nearly 40 years. After the death of Dr. Gould, his widow donated the boat to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy where it was acquired by the present owners. The boat went through a bottom-up rebuild By Anders Langendal between 1998-2004. The present owners have rigorously maintained and upgraded the boat since the 2004 relaunch. She is now freshly painted inside and out and in the water ready to go!
