Ted Gozzard's reputation for building seaworthy cruising sailboats shines through in this well-regarded 31-footer, which has earned respect among serious cruising sailors since production began in 1990. Built by North Castle Marine in Canada, this cutter-rigged vessel embodies traditional design principles with modern construction techniques. The Gozzard 31's long keel configuration and substantial 4,800-pound ballast provide excellent tracking ability and seakeeping characteristics that make it well-suited for offshore passages and extended cruising. With a displacement of 12,000 pounds and a comfort ratio of 26.19, this boat prioritizes stability and motion comfort over pure speed, making it an ideal choice for couples planning serious bluewater adventures. The cutter rig offers versatility in varying wind conditions, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability with reasonable maintenance requirements. At 36.17 feet overall with an 11-foot beam, the design provides comfortable accommodations without sacrificing the seaworthiness that Gozzard boats are known for. With a capsize screening formula of 1.93 and hull speed potential of 6.83 knots, this vessel strikes an appealing balance for cruisers who value safety and comfort over racing performance, making it a solid choice for serious coastal and offshore cruising endeavors.
