Broker's Comments
This is a bespoke, owner finished classic variant of the Bruce Roberts 53 Blue Water.
She was built ketch-rigged, with a variety of sail and engine options and with a wealth of equipment and faclities on board.
Accommodation comprises a large, bright cockpit saloon, plus dining/galley area, 6 cabins and a well-equipped workshop.
She was completed in 2013 and was intended to sail the Baltic and above the Arctic circle, but has never really been used.
The Owner is intending to do an external repaint prior to sale.
NB - The berth may be available by separate negotiation with the marina. An additional berth transfer fee may be applicable.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
