READY TO SAIL AWAY, THIS BRUCE ROBERTS 43' KETCH IS!

RECENT PRICE REDUCTION! 

This custom 1990 43' Bruce Roberts Mauritius Ketch is ready for your next sea adventure!   A proven world-cruiser, it's roomy and comfortable, reliable in rough weather, and designed with long offshore passages and living aboard in mind. The original owner built this vessel in South Africa and sailed around the world with his family for many years before returning stateside!      The interior has been extremely well-fitted with exotic hardwood, and the exterior has  hand-laid fiber reinforced plastic laminates; it was heavily laid up and redone in 2010, too. Upgrades include boat thruster, refrigerator, A/C , autopilot, custom arch to hold dinghy (with solar panels on too), and newer heads. The structural strength and impact resistance is top-notch, giving you confidence to cruise safely and smoothly. 
  A beautiful boat that has been cared-for and improved upon with love- and one that can see your sailing dreams to fruition!
