Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Golden Hind 31
Designed by Maurice Griffiths, these GRP versions of this popular family cruising boat were built by Terry Erskine yachts. This boat was launched in 1976.
The Golden Hind was originally designed for amateur construction using plywood, the hard chine hull was relatively easy to construct using plywood sheets and made for a cost effective family cruising boat. Latterly a plug was made the design was built in GRP with many produced by Terry Erskine of Plymouth.
With only 2 owners in all her years, this has been a well loved and used yacht, in present ownership for 26 years. Sadly due to the owners advancing years she has been put up for sale.
In the first few years of the current ownership she had a major refit including a new engine and a re-modelled interior creating a comfortable and spacious cabin with 5 berths and over 6’ headroom.
This yacht has the ketch rig which makes her more adaptable for short handed cruising with more sail plan options.
A good honest cruising boat with a lot of volume for the length and sensibly priced.
