The Bruce Roberts 44 design was a very successful model, designed as a fast cruising yacht with longish overhangs and a gentle, sweeping sheer. WINDARRA is the centre cockpit ketch design giving a protected cockpit and an easy sail plan to manage. The yacht had an extensive refit in 2018, including not least the new engine and new genset and was set up as a truly self sufficient cruising yacht. She has a three quarter length keel and lead ballast, skeg hung rudder and boasts a displacement to length ratio of 339.
