Elizabethan 31 Centre Cockpit Ketch Yacht
Ghost Wind is an Elizabethan 31, a very strong and solid 'around the world' boat. She has beautiful classic lines and an incredibly stable 50% displacement ratio which makes her a very pleasing and confident boat to sail. The centre cockpit gives her a good sized aft cabin with two bunks and space between them, with plenty of lockers. The main saloon in front of the cockpit can sleep two more and has plenty of living space. Beyond this the toilet and wet locker lead through to the fore cabin and a double berth, making her a possible 6 berth in total. Her rig is in excellent order with all new running rigging, good standing rigging, and good sails (roller furling genoa, main, mizzen, and storm sail). She has wheel steering with windvane self-steering which is a great bonus for the lazy sailor like me! Her engine is a Bukh 20DV which runs smoothly and starts every time. The engine was serviced this year, when a brand new brass stern tube and cutlass bearing was fitted and the rudder and steering gear serviced too. She has basic electrics refurnished this year including cabin lights, navigation lights, steaming and anchor lights, electric windlass, compass lights, VHF, 2 x Phone charging sockets, and mains shore power with 5 outlets and an RCD. Inside she has a toilet, and all the joinery is in place but she needs insulating and finishing off to make her look up to date, as she has simply been whitewashed at present, hence the price. Ghost Wind is currently in use and has just been sailed from Somerset to Scotland through a F8. This is the best boat I have ever owned and and I am only selling her as I now need a slightly larger one. She comes with Sprayhood, Lifejackets, EPIRB, new DSC VHF radio, all dock lines, fenders, horse shoes, boat hooks, bilge pump, etc and is completely ready to set sail and go. All in all a very sturdy boat which is being currently sailed around the UK. I will consider an exchange for a larger boat that may require work doing to her. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
