ROBERTS 470 - WOOD EPOXY
The accommodation of this design has been laid out to suit two couples. The Roberts 470 makes a fine long distance cruising yacht.
The design of the boat comes by request of a customer who already owns a Charles W. Wittholz’s catboat and wanted to have a beautiful tender for his yacht.
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.
