2012 Custom Simonis-Voogd 501

GIVE’R is a high quality, robust, comfortable and fast aluminum monohull sailing yacht designed by Simonis Voogd Yacht Design. She was built in 2012 by Jacobs Bros, a highly regarded boatbuilder in Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in custom aluminum yachts. GIVE’R holds a Category A – Ocean Lloyd’s Building Certificate.

GIVE’R features a powerful cutter rig, twin rudders, and a hydraulic lifting keel to provide excellent sailing performance with access to shallow waters. In addition to her head turning good looks, GIVE’R is a safe and spacious blue water cruiser, fully equipped for extended voyages, with all the luxuries of a modern cruising sailboat. Her hard dodger offers excellent shelter and visibility; her dinghy garage offers convenience and storage typically found on larger yachts. She is a pleasure to sail, motors well under power and is easily managed by a couple or shorthanded crew.

GIVE’R was built for an experienced Dutch couple who completed a multiyear circumnavigation. Her current owners are experienced circumnavigators, who purchased GIVE’R in 2023. They completed an extensive refit and equipment upgrade with the purpose of high latitude sailing and rounding of Cape Horn. They have meticulously maintained GIVE’R with a philosophy required for safe sailing in remote regions; proactive and preventative care, focused on reliable functioning of all vessel systems, coupled with extensive spares inventory. GIVE’R was born to roam the world’s oceans and is ready for her next adventures.

GIVE’R (meaning: Canadian slang for “give it all you’ve got”) is registered in Canada, official registration number 847083. Currently located in Panama, en route to Eastern Caribbean or possibly East Coast USA.
