For sale by the original owners, Gone With The Wind is a luxury performance sailing catamaran designed by the world renowned Tony Grainger. The Chincogan 52 is specifically intended as a comfortable cruising catamaran capable of safely crossing oceans as well as coastal cruising with high average speeds.
Significantly, the overriding factor in the design was SAFETY. She is a proven ocean going vessel having recently completed a circumnavigation with the original owners as sole crew.
The expansive cockpit and foredeck areas provide ample space for a dozen or more guests, while the large open plan galley and saloon ensure you never feel isolated from the party. Both the cockpit and foredeck areas are brilliant for Al fresco entertaining.
Having had meticulous maintenance Gone With The Wind is presented in excellent condition, and a comprehensive recent survey is now available. Both Yanmar engines have had recent engine oil analysis with excellent results. The engines are in mint condition and were recently serviced in August 2024.
This vessel comes with a stunning repaint in New Zealand in 2022. Her appearance is as new.
If you are looking for a safe, comfortable fast passage maker Gone with the Wind will be your ideal catamaran.
