The Golden Hind 31 is a deeply traditional Maurice Griffiths design which has proved to be a reliable and sturdy offshore cruiser with easily handled sea kindly performance.  Finished with a traditional wooden hull, deck and superstructure, providing the incomparable ambience of a classic yacht.  The moderate draft also allows unfettered cruising in shallow coastal waters. Trigger has been well cared for by her three owners and is in exceptional condition. Well worth inspection.
