CommentsThe Roberts 34 is a comfortable, safe, seaworthy offshore sailing cruiser. This example was professionally built to a very high standard for the original owner, incorporating many constructional features over and above the standard design, including rolled cockpit and a rounded coach roof. She has been maintained to a very high standard, is presented in excellent condition and has recently been upgraded with new standing rigging, new Garmin EchoMAP chartplotter with BlueChart, new Standard Horizon AIS/GPS, a new Fusion entertainment system and much more. A rare opportunity to acquire a Roberts 34 with a high standard of build quality and lots of new and upgraded equipment.Please email me for further questions
