Historical Comments
The first thing you notice about “Good Hopeâ€?â€? is that she looks just the way a real yacht should - “Absolutely Beautifulâ€?! And then you discover that she sails just the way she looks, “Like the Wind"! From New England to the Caribbean, “Good Hopeâ€?â€? has dazzled observers since her launching. She has taken line honors at major races, such as, Lipton Cup, Miami-Nassau, and the 1959 St. Pete to Havana race. She’s beaten the likes of “Ondineâ€? and “Ticonderogaâ€?.

“Good Hopeâ€?" started her life in 1937 when Devereaux Barker of Eastern Yacht Club commissioned naval architect Frank Paine to design a craft whose grace would only be surpassed by her speed. The Commodore's choice of designers could not have been more auspicious, for Paine had just created the j-boat "Yankee", celebrated America’s Cup challenger of the early 1930s. His foresight in using composite wood/steel framing has allowed this classic to survive constant usage in racing or the heavy trades of the lower Caribbean. With her pedigree and exhilarating performance, she was a natural for the crew charter business in the Caribbean, where her owners have entertained the most discriminating of guests since 1981. A previous owner, Mr. E. J. Richardson of the Ft. Lauderdale Yacht Club, won the Havana race and received a letter of apology from Fidel Castro for his rude behavior in crashing the victory celebration. She was the only boat to finish the Sorc St. Pete-Palm Beach race (held only once during the 1950's for obvious reasons). She is no stranger to heavy air and taxing seas and has done so for 65 years.

She completed a six week 3000 mile voyage from Trinidad July 20,2002, none the worse for wear (incredible for a 64 year old gal!). “Good Hopeâ€? is a highly recognized and important piece of navel architectural history; she enjoys her own exhibit at the Hale Gallery at MIT University in Boston, MA.
Construction
Built by the renowned shipyard of George Lawley and Sons, in MA. Her construction is of semi-composite African mahogany over oak and steel frames with bronze and stainless fastenings. One and half-inch teak decking over oak framing. Teak coach and interior joiner work. Ian Proctor Spar with stainless rigging.
Major Refits
1971 to 1973 - She spent 2 years in her later life (71-73) at the Goudy & Stevens yard in East Boothbay, MA for a total interior/exterior refit.
1982 - New stem
2000 - Reframe starboard topsides with 35 new planks, silicon bronze fastened. Bottom wooded, recaulked, and repainted.
2002 - Her owners spent five weeks preparing her for the 3000 mile voyage to Virginia, USA. All bright work was stripped and recoated and decks were recaulked and sanded.

Her deck timbers appear in solid condition throughout. Her cockpit needs rework of support timbers and her engine room would enjoy a detailing.

Interior Layout
Guest staterooms (2). A large crew state room. Her beautiful galley/salon arrangement is finished in the finest traditional varnished hardwoods as befits a lady of her vintage. The interior was designed by Alden and totally rebuilt in 1972 for charter use by Goudy and Stevens of Maine. All hardware and skylights are original.
