GOOD HOPE 56
Jacobs Bros is the preferred builder of the Good Hope 56’. Designed by Ed Joy, it is a rugged, aluminium yacht for extensive cruising. Following the adventures of Seal, it has inspired interest in this design from aspiring circumnavigators. This yacht is durable and low maintenance, and is capable of exploring rivers and tidal basins that are inaccessible to fixed keel sailboats. The design is suited for rugged Arctic conditions, with her proven lifting keel and rudder, and can be modified for less extensive cruising in high latitudes.
