Bob's Joy is a good example of a desirable classic ocean cruising yacht that is fitted out to a high specification. Her heavy displacement, long keel, large volume with generous stowage makes her ideal for cruising. With a ketch rig, roller reefing on the jenny, wheel steering, auto helm, and many extras she provides a rare opportunity to own a Caribbean based cruising yacht. As the owners can testify she is ideal for an adventurous retirement lifestyle. For a younger generation opportunity to charter in the Caribbean, or attach to a large hotel for their guests to charter.
For many years now the owners have sailed up and down the Caribbean Islands between Puerto Rico and Venezuela for six months of each year. For five months of each year the yacht is stored covered ashore in Trinidad, south of the hurricane belt while the owners take leave in Europe during the summer. Bob's Joy is English registered on the small ships register (SSR22803).
