1985 Gozzard PILGRIM

The Gozzard Pilgrim 40 is a classic cruiser designed by Ted Gozzard for coastal and river exploration. The design draws from 1920s commuter-boat aesthetics while using modern fiberglass construction. Built in Ontario during the 1980s, the boat was created with North America's inland waterways, rivers, and canals in mind, combining historical styling with practical cruising capability.

This example measures 40 feet in length with a 14-foot beam. The single cabin accommodates cruising couples or small crews, with one head and full cruising accommodations. The boat achieves a cruising speed of 7 knots with a maximum speed of 9 knots, suited to the leisurely pace of river and canal exploration.

The boat has been maintained by its current owner and reflects the enduring quality of Gozzard's design philosophy. Its fiberglass hull and long-range cruising capability make it suitable for extended exploration of North American waterways.
