Bruce Roberts 434D

Bruce Roberts 434D (Modified) – £59,950 This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantially completed, modified Bruce Roberts 434D steel cruising yacht and finish her to your own specification. With the hull professionally welded by renowned shipwright Peter Keig of Fairhaven Boat Builders circa 1996, this impressive blue-water cruiser offers exceptional potential for anyone seeking a capable long-distance liveaboard or offshore passagemaker. Powered by a Perkins 60HP diesel engine and offering accommodation for up to seven berths across two cabins and the saloon, together with two heads compartments, the foundations are in place for a truly comfortable cruising yacht. The vessel benefits from unusually large double-glazed windows and hatches, creating a bright, airy interior rarely found in steel yachts of this size. Included in the sale are the mast, boom, stainless steel standing rigging, blocks and a quantity of timber intended for the completion of the interior fit-out, representing a significant investment already made by the current owner. The original intention was to complete the yacht and cruise extensively in the Mediterranean, but changing health circumstances have forced the sale before the project could be finished. For the right buyer, this presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a proven ocean-going design at a fraction of the cost of a completed vessel, while retaining the ability to personalise the final specification. The owner is motivated to achieve a quick sale and is open to sensible offers. Storage and continued workspace at Iron Wharf Boatyard may be available by separate negotiation, allowing the new owner the opportunity to complete the project in its current location.
