ROBERTS 310

Tern is a lengthened (to 23'9') version of my earlier 20' design Ratty.

Silver Thread is a replica of a Cornish lug and mizzen used in the inshore fishing and as tender to larger vessels within harbors. The original boat, Summer Haze, was built in Padstow around 1908.

Fast offshore cruising catamaran

A 35' centerboard cruising boat designed for long-distance cruising and living aboard. Simplicity’s raised deck and 11’ beam result in a spacious interior, with standing headroom throughout. Construction is plywood over plywood bulkheads and frames.

Auxiliary cruising sloop evolving from the Hudson River and Friendship sloops.

Excellent for single handling with 450 sq. ft. of working sails, open decks and large cockpit.

Sunrise was my home for a decade. She has a typical New England Pinky hull with their extended bulwarks and mini-transom at their conclusion. She has comfortable accommodations for a couple to live aboard, with occasional guests.

The candlefish is a versatile small fishing boat. Originally designed to be a cartoppable fishing skiff for high latitude rivers and lakes, she has also proven to be an excellent yacht tender.

This design came about when I got to thinking about having an elegant dinghy for our 34′ Topsail Ketch Sunrise.
