Roberts 55ft - GRP Cruising Ketch - USD179,000

        As you read down the specs and equipment below for this blue water cruising yacht you'll see that all the important items have been replaced in recent years, including removing all the old Gelcoat and reapplying a complete International treatment for Osmosis in 2002.

       If space, safety, speed & comfort are on your list priorities this professionally built sturdy vessel should definitely be considered.

       The asking price has already been drastically reduced, but you might be able to negotiate even a lower figure with this keen vendor.
