COMMENTS: GOSLING is one of the Classic Bill Tripp designed yawls built by Migrator Yachts of Bristol, RI in 1987. These are stunningly beautiful vessels but they are also known for their superb sailing characteristics, seakindly and fast. GOSLING has been out of the water for 5 years, under cover, due to her owner’s passing. We have inspected her and found her in very good condition. We highly recommend her. Thank you for your interest.
