Goodwind

[GOODWIND]

Hi everyone

I'm new and excited to share with you all that me and my friend Steve own a wind boat called Goodwind . We have owned here for 5 years as a complete restoration and hoping she will be on the water in 2 years. We are trying to find out her history, she is 43ft and built in 1938 by Graham bunn but that is pretty much all we know. If anyone has any information of her and her journey that would be fantastic.

looking forward in keeping up with what’s happening with everyone

Couple of scans from Blakes brochures of 1937 and 1939.

Most of the pre-war built Windboats would seem to have been sold to other fleets post-war but I am unable to find any reference to these big 43 footers.

I thought Goodwind went to France with Little Ships

What an interesting story. Where does she lay at this moment in time?

We bought her from little ships in 2018 just before Adam left for France
