About Gunboat

Over 12 years ago, we set out to create the safest world cruising sailboat that could be conceived. TRIBE launched, & pioneered a new high performance cruising catamaran segment. With rugged high tech structures, breakthrough ocean-going designs, & luxurious interiors, word of our work quickly spread. The knowledge gained from our 6 different series, & 12 years of refinement & innovation continue to push us to ever improve & evolve the segment we started. Gunboats are engineered to round-the-world racing standards. Race boats are pushed far beyond any cruising boats, yet are a fraction of the weight. All unnecessary weight is engineered out of the structures, while maintaining superior safety margins to any production cruising boat. Materials are primarily carbon & post cured SP Epoxies. Gunboats are engineered to handle the rigors of the world’s oceans. Every detail of every Gunboat is defined by reliability & weight savings. Furniture is cored with honeycomb, electronic bus systems are used for electrics, tanks are built in, & much of the interior is hand-finished. All saves weight which creates better performance. Gunboat owners average 250-350 miles a day offshore & typically cover over 10,000 miles a year. Gunboats are sailed continuously by their owners. For fun, a Gunboat raced the largest sailboat in the world in the TransAtlantic Race, & won. About 2 million sea miles have been sailed by Gunboats. We’ve gotten around, & we will get you around.
