the paddle. The Gulfstream responds beautifully. Both the highly experienced
paddler and the novice will enjoy the Gulfstream because of its performance,
as well as its forgiving nature.

The unique day hatch on the starboard side, just behind the paddler, has a 7 1/2" diameter round access hatch. The day hatch is within arm's reach of the paddler from the cockpit. A third bulkhead behind the access hatch makes this compartment self contained.
Features such as recessed deck fittings and perimeter lines are standard on every Gulfstream.
