About the GLOBE 41 (GY 41)
Thanks to GLOBE 41 owner 'visionary' and a number of others for providing information on this yacht. (47' LOA w/bowsprit.) Aft cockpit versions also available.
The Globe 41 (GY 41) is a rare, heavy-displacement cruising ketch designed by Garden/Perry and built by Globe Boatbuilding (TAIWAN) between 1977 and 1981, with only 12 hulls produced. Its substantial build quality is reflected in a displacement of 33000.0 lb and a ballast weight of 13599.3 lb, indicating a vessel built for serious offshore comfort rather than speed.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced bluewater cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over performance, particularly those who appreciate the traditional staysail ketch rig and are willing to manage a rare, low-production vessel.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 239.04, a capsize ratio of 1.74, and a full/long keel, the Globe 41 is exceptionally well-suited for offshore passage-making, offering superior stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other heavy-displacement ketches from the late 1970s such as the Hallberg-Rassy 43 or the O'Day 42, which share similar full keel designs and cruising-oriented performance profiles.
