Golden Hind 31 cutter sailing yacht

19,950 GBP

The Golden Hind 31 is a legendary yacht, a sturdy, characterful and extremely versatile little ship: its shoal draft and bilge plates allow it to nose up shallow creeks and take the ground easily, while its ability to cross oceans makes it a truly unique craft. Designed by the great Maurice Griffiths and built by Terry Erskine, this yacht is a proven bluewater boat: it is said to hold the record for the most transatlantic crossings by a production sailing yacht and at least one has been around Cape Horn. It was designed as a go-anywhere live-aboard cruising yacht and is a boat for the true seafarer.  
This is my lovely Marschallin, a gorgeous 1981 GRP cutter-rigged Golden Hind 31 who turns heads and gets compliments wherever she goes. She is a beautiful British classic and rightly so, and really needs to be seen; photographs do not do her justice.

She is seaworthy, remarkably roomy (6'2" headroom), comfortable and easy to handle. Restored and extensively upgraded September 2015 - March 2016, launched March 2016. Currently lying afloat in Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.  Check out a video of Marschallin under full sail here: https://vimeo.com/173738668 - Length overall: 31' 6"
