Maurice Griffiths Golden Hind 26

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Maurice Griffiths Golden Hind 26

Golden Hind 26 designed by Maurice Griffiths and moulded by Golden Hind Marine in 1999.  The hull was then fitted out by Ray Cox and the boat was launched in 2004.

She is No.14 of the class and the last boat to be built to this design.

The construction and finish of the boat is to a high professional standard with an excellent choice of materials and top quality fittings.  A full record of the build including all invoices has been retained.  Since her launch she has had only 2 owners and has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to create a very comfortable and capable cruising boat.  The cabin has a lovely ambiance, fitted out with high quality joinery throughout to give the feel of a traditional classic yacht.

The current owners have explored most of the south coast and northern Europe, finding the boat to be impeccably well behaved and easy to handle even in poor weather conditions.

With a heavy ballast keel and healthy ballast ratio she is stiff and steady at sea, while her shallow draft and bilge keels allow her to take the ground and explore far upstream into shallow waters off limits to many boats her size.
