Cutter rigged Golden Hind 31 for sale.
She has been well maintained and upgraded throughout my 7 year ownership. If you read up about Golden Hinds you will find them to be reliable bluewater yachts capable of crossing oceans and going into most shallower areas most yachts cant reach. I have sailed her in all sorts of weather and have always felt that she was very stable and reliable, and is set up well for single handed sailing.
Relaunched after a general service (antifouling/anodes) in January 2024.
