Jacobs Brothers are making great progress on the second Good Hope 56. The pictures show an organized project well under way.
In the galley looking forward. There is a large amount of storage with the upper cabinet mounted on the side of the keel case.
The sturdy John Deere engine in place. High torque and low RPM make for a very efficient, reliable and long lasting propulsion system.
The engine room is spacious with good access to the equipment – a rare feature on a boat this small.
Note the drip tray under the fuel filters.
The fresh water distribution manifold is easily accessible. Attention to detail in locating such mundane items will make the boat a joy to maintain. The value will accrue over the long term when regular maintenance on items is actually carried out due to ease of access to the parts.
