Ted Brewer designed Goderich 35 world cruiser for sale

*More Pictures to come*

The Goderich 35, Noriko, is now on the market!  This is a wonderful opportunity to own one of the finest Goderich cutters ever built. The current owner is downsizing in life. Of all the great boat designs from the mind of Ted Brewer, one of the world’s most respected yacht designers, the Goderich stood out among his very favourites – in large part to the simple beauty and original soft radius rounded chine design and the vessel’s impressive sea going pedigree. Said Ted, “the success of the world’s first radius bilge construction system on the Goderich encouraged me to use it in three dozen following designs in steel and aluminum. Still, the reason that the Goderich 35 means so much to me is because of the voyages of two wonderful sailors; Marvin Creamer and Edwin Arnold”

Marvin was a geography professor and believed that it was possible to circumnavigate the globe the same way the ancients crossed the oceans, without the use of navigation instruments of any kind. To prove his point Marvin selected the Goderich 35, Globe Star, and set off from Cape May, New Jersey on December 21, 1982. The boat did have sextant, compass, etc. aboard, but only for an emergency and they were in a sealed compartment. There was no clock aboard, not even a wristwatch. Marvin navigated solely by his knowledge of the stars, the ocean currents and the prevailing winds.

The Goderich 35’s course took her to Cape Town, South Africa, thence to Hobart and Sydney, Australia, south of Tasmania, then north to New Zealand and across the wide Pacific to round Cape Horn, visit the Falklands and home to New Jersey on May 17, 1984, 18 months later after 30,000 nautical miles.

That was not the end of the Goderich’s remarkable voyages though. Some years later Ed Arnold selected his Goderich 35, Nomad, and headed out, not only to circumnavigate the world, but also rounding Cape Horn twice, finally coming to rest in Sitka, Alaska. So, concludes Ted, “And that is why the Goderich is one of my favourite designs.  She pioneered a new system of metal hull construction. Plus two of my 35’s made truly historical voyages, a truly wonderful testament to her seaworthiness.

Noriko, was built in 1979 and spent most of her life in fresh water in Lake Ontario. Her first owner, a former airline pilot took meticulous care of her. Her second and current owner, an experienced sailor, loved and cherished and lavished her with smart refits, restoration and upgrades. Between them, Noriko, never failed her owners and brought them to the Caribbean Islands and the Canary Islands – and home again – in safety and comfort. She had a major refit in 2000 and a further major refit (including complete professional sandblasting of the hull and painting of the hull and deck) in 2012-2013.

Noriko is simple and uncomplicated and everything is done right. She is the quintessential “proper” yacht.  Her sail plan is of classic cutter design. Her manageable main sail, together with yankee cut jib and modest staysail provide all manner of flexibility for sail planning and weather. She also carries a large asymmetrical spinnaker in excellent condition for use in moderate breezes. In short, she has ample sail to cruise at good speeds and has achieved 8 knots and better in a breeze. The double headsail rig simplifies handling and can be triple reefed down to a snug, all inboard rig in a blow.  Noriko sails like a “Rolls Royce”. She is silky smooth in rough weather and heaves to wonderfully. She’s equally comfortable on the worlds’ oceans or taking the family for weekend trip on the Great Lakes. Her shoal draft affords her the ability to anchor in shallow conditions.

From the moment he purchased her in 2011, the current owner has spared no expense for Noriko. He is just the kind of owner you want to buy a boat from. In 2012 he completed a major refit. He has spent every year since, improving this already handsome vessel. The maintenance that generally no one notices or that gets avoided has all been done for you. The cockpit is a true ocean-going design. From the moment you step into the cockpit you will feel as safe and secure as one possibly can. There are massive amounts of storage in 4 lazarettes.  Access to the steering system and rear of the auxiliary engine is through one of the lazarettes – they are that big.  Below decks, Noriko sleeps 4, two in a very nice v-berth and two more on the pull-out settees in the main cabin. 

The woodwork is all teak. The joinery is of superb quality, done professionally during the boat’s build. It is beautiful to look at and feel, right down to the removable cabin teak and holly floorboards. There is an old school (sizeable) navigation desk to starboard, that fits full-size charts.  Also, to starboard, and properly near the companionway, is a fantastic teak storage locker for foul weather gear and tools. To port is a classic and proper seagoing U – shaped galley with two sinks and a pull up cutting board/counter extension.  Perfect size for bracing in rougher weather. The large top entry fridge is efficiently powered by a very reliable Nova Kool low power compressor. There are electric and manual (both bronze hand and foot) pumps which bring water from two very large aluminum water tanks. The head is located forward to port with a well-maintained toilet, sink and shower with pump. In the bow there is vast storage with drawers, closet and larger hanger area easily accessible. There is an elegant separate cabin door to the v-berth for privacy. The dining table is easily removable. There is also extra storage behind and under the expandable pull-out settees.

Further detailed specifications are as follows:

Hull and Deck Construction

The hull, deck and cabin are immensely strong as they are 4mm mild steel. The integral keel (no keel bolts here) is 5mm mild steel and has a ballast of 6200lbs. The deck and cabin are welded to the hull. The deck stations are welded to the deck. Steel toe rails.

The entire boat is painted inside and out with three layers of Amerlock (used by the US Navy) two-part epoxy and finished with 2 layers of Awlgrip. The deck is covered with Kiwi-Grip for solid safe footing. The inside of the vessel is insulated with foam. There are not any leaks and no condensation forms anywhere. The mast is a single spreader heavy gauge aluminum and its dimensions are as recommended by Ted Brewer for ocean cruising. The hull anti-fouling consists of two coats of Interlux Micron CSC (black) applied last season. The hull, skeg and rudder are fully protected with magnesium (for freshwater) tear drop anodes, as is the propeller shaft, which were replaced last season and with virtually no wasting.

Rigging

The stainless-steel standing rigging consists of uppers, then intermediates (to provide support for the inner forestay - there are no running backstays) and two lowers, all 3/8” wire with toggles. There are two forestays with toggles top and bottom and two full backstays, all 3/8” wire as well. The mast is very well secured and it sits on a very strong stainless bracket which protrudes into the mast (all very securely made in the factory).  Sail plan is a cutter rig. Profurl furling N42 system for Yankee jib.  Harken furling system for stay sail.  SA/DISPL RATIO-15.7.

Steering

“Cinkel” Edson pedestal mounted wheel with a cable and pulley drive to the rudder shaft system.  A pedestal guard is provided and a stop bracket is fitted to limit excessive rudder travel. An emergency steering posted is fitted with spare tiller on board. The rudder is skeg hung and the skeg provides ideal protection for the rudder and propeller. Sestrel compass mounted on pedestal with auxillary night-time lighting.
