About the GLOUCESTER 19
Daysailor version of the GOUCESTER 20. The molds were later aquired by Quickstep Sailboats where it became the QUICKSTEP 19.
The Gloucester 19 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Stuart Windley and built by Gloucester Yachts Inc. in the USA, with production records indicating a build year of 1983. With a hull count listed as unknown, this vessel represents a specific era of American trailerable yacht design, characterized by a 19.25 ft LOA and a lightweight displacement of 1600.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners seeking a manageable, trailerable package that balances ease of handling with adequate interior space for weekend getaways.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 1600.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 9.74, the Gloucester 19 is designed for protected waters and coastal hops rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Catalina 19 and O'Day 19, as they share similar dimensions, trailerable footprints, and target the same market of entry-level cruisers from the early 1980s.
