Golden Hind 31 Cutter

This very well built boat has been in the current ownership for 17 years during which time the retired engineer owner has maintained her to a high standard. She is seaworthy and easy to handle with a good turn of speed and is capable of trans ocean passages, but also able to transit canals with her shallow draft, and dry out due to her bilge keels. The boat is for sale with a huge inventory, and has also in recent years had a number of upgrades.
