Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 46 extra photos of this Bruce Roberts Ketch 53' .
What is being offered here is an immensely constructed serious cruising yacht fom the board of Bruce Roberts. The very fact it has been professionally built in South Africa is indicitive of a strong boat. The interior is having a bit of a re-fit, in particular the galley. Below decks, she is so spacious that you get an upper saloon in the deck house and then a lower saloon. Full six foot head room everywhere, even in the aft cabins. With a little updating of the interior and electronics, this yacht would make a perfect live-aboard and long distance cruiser.

Currently lying in Cornwall.

Offers on the asking price will be considered.
