"GOLD OF OPHIR" is a 1976 NAB 38 long keel ketch, believed to be one of five built during a collaboration between Hallberg Rassey and Nautic-Borcherts of Germany. This one was fitted out by Atlas Marine in Hamble, and is a fully Part One registered vessel. The hull was epoxy treated in Spain by the previous owner. She offers up to eight berths in three cabins.

The Original 65hp General Motors Bedford 4 cylinder diesel engine is still going strong and a new prop shaft, coupling, shaft knife and cutlass bearing were fitted in 2002.

The Stainless Steel rigging was replaced July 2003.

The main cabin has a U shaped settee to port and a long settee berth to starboard.  Access to the aft cabin is by passage, aft of the navigation table. She has a large aft cabin with one single and one cosy double berth. It has an en-suite toilet and shower cubicle. The fore cabin has the usual vee-berths and it own heads with a new electric toilet and wash room  - separated from the saloon by a sliding door.

She is in commission, on her way from Spain towards France ready to be shipped back to the UK Shortly.

This is a heavily built, sea-kindly, robust motor-sailer, with covered centre cockpit. She is no slouch in a sailing breeze. The present owners find the format surprisingly well suited to Mediterranean cruising, with plenty of shade as well as sunbathing areas, although the design is clearly for northern climes.
