Broker's Comments
The Roberts 43 is a popular steel long-distance cruising yacht and was designed by well known Bruce Roberts.
This fine and proven example has been built by the engineer owner with a radius chine and incorporates a pilot house layout He also built another which is now in service in the Mediterranean
This vessel has been cruised extensively and used as a live aboard in the Caribbean with some 47,000 sea miles under her owner. On her last Atlantic crossing she completed 1860 miles in 13 days - an average of 5.9 knots!
She has been subject to ongoing improvements and now represents excellent value for a new owner who is looking to for that big blue water adventure
