Re: Golden Hind 31 Restoration! :)

The UK magazine, Practical Boat Owner, november 2013 issue, has an article on restoring a Golden Hind if you can get a copy.

This is a little confusing. The one I was about to look at was a fiberglass over plywood construction. Is that the way yours is constructed or is it solid fiberglass hull?

kind regards,

Yes, November. page 48. The article is called ''A 10-year refit."

Laurent Giles is not the designer. The designer is, Maurice Griffiths.

Here are some links:

Sailboatdata - Golden Hind 31'

WaveTrain - Golden Hind 31'

Susan Crockerton - Golden Hind 31' (Interesting Woman!)

I have stumbled across this thread because, I have seriously been considering purchasing a Golden Hind 31' myself. I have been in e-mail contact today with the seller.
