Short Description of the Maurice Griffiths Classic Ketch

Maurice Griffiths Classic Ketch , classic yacht for sale in Barcelona, Spain.
Originally built by the Mazagon Yard in Bombay for a director of P&O Shipping. 'India' was built entirely from seasoned Indian teak with no expense spared, all from five matched logs seasoned for five years. The bottom, centre board and rudder were also tarred and copper sheathed from new and like the hull remain in their original form.She was kept in the Seychelles before being sailed to the UK by her designer, Maurice Griffiths. He sailed her for a time (ref book 'Magician of the Swatchways') before she was first sold to a Bristol owner before passing on to a Hamble based owner. After a number of years in the UK she has now moved to Portugal where her current owner, a respected yacht surveyor, has used her for family holidays. A lead ballast keel is fitted that can be lowered to increase the draught to 7 feet. The casing forms part of the internal structure adding stiffness. The full width decks give plenty of internal space with full headroom throughout.
Price reduced making this classic a real bargain.
