MINNEHAHA is a rare Gozzard 44 Mk1 with the B interior. In fact, she was the first and only B interior Mk1 that was build. Adding to the rarity of this particular boat is the fact she has been a Great Lakes (read fresh water!) boat her entire career with only one owner having been sailed on the waters of Lake Michigan, Huron and Superior. A boat that is sailed in these waters, also means she spends 50% of her time out of the water while hauled on the hard during the winter months. All to suggest that she is in unusually good original cosmetic condition having only seen a fraction of the wear and tear that a normal sistership might be subjected to.
The B interior concept was designed to incorporate an Island queen sized berth with on suite head stateroom forward without having to revert to a center cockpit deck which are typically not as sea kindly as an aft cockpit model. With a more traditional dinette amidships opposite a two-place navigation area (with built-in chairs), there is a large L shaped galley to starboard aft and a day located just forward of the standard aft stateroom normally found on all G44s. The dinette table is similar to the A model using the coffee table as the base with the tabletop stored behind a seat back when not in used. It is a refreshingly unusual interior for a Gozzard and one that lead the way forward for many of the Mk2 builds that followed.
MINNEHAHA features a dark blue hull with the limited addition color scheme and Awlwood MA brightwork finish on the teak. The interior has an unmolested natural patina on the beautiful cherry woodwork which creates a lighter colored, yet rich appearance highlighting the exquisite wood working demonstrated throughout the boat.
