About the LINDSEY GLOBEMASTER 39
The builder was located at Hilandale, FL USA
The Lindsey Globemaster 39 is a 1972-built ketch designed by an unknown designer and constructed by Lindsey Yacht Corp. in the USA. With a displacement of 14500.0 lb and a full/long keel, this vessel represents a classic, heavy-displacement cruising platform from the early 1970s.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a traditional, stable ketch rig for relaxed weekend sailing or protected water exploration. Its heavy displacement and full keel make it ideal for owners prioritizing sea-keeping and comfort over high-speed performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the Globemaster 39 features a low capsize ratio of 1.92 and a high displacement of 14500.0 lb that suggest inherent stability, its limited documented bluewater history and single production year warrant caution for serious offshore passages without extensive refitting.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 40 and the Tartan 38, which share similar production eras, heavy displacement characteristics, and full-keel designs. These vessels offer similar traditional cruising aesthetics and robust construction typical of 1970s American yacht building.
