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 "shoaldraft" cruising philosophy. Originally built in marine plywood by the coffin manufacturer Hartwell’s of Plymouth, the design’s success eventually led to a GRPhulled 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 bluewater 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.
