Designed by the prolific Maurice Griffiths and originally commissioned in 1965, the Golden Hind 31 stands as one of the most recognizable and enduring examples of the British "shoal-draft" cruising philosophy. Originally built in marine plywood by the coffin manufacturer Hartwell’s of Plymouth, the design’s success eventually led to a GRP-hulled production run by Terry Erskine Yachts throughout the 1970s and 1980s. With over 250 units produced, the Golden Hind 31 became a stalwart of the blue-water community, at one point reportedly holding the record for the most transatlantic crossings by a production sailboat. The model’s evolution includes the Golden Hind 26, a smaller sibling designed to meet the demand for a more compact cruiser, and the Golden Hind 31 Mark II, which introduced a taller cutter rig and increased ballast to improve performance in light airs.
