FEED-BACK JANUARY 2011 - SEE BOATS FOR SALE Hi, Bruce! Regards, Dennis & Donna Fria ROBERTS 44 - December 2010 - SEE e-book BUILD YOUR OWN SAILBOAT for photos of this boat. Hi Bruce, Thanks for
replying so quickly. I confirm Sifu is a multi chine steel
hulled Roberts 44 with centre cockpit and ketch rig. She is
at present on a mooring in Fornells, Menorca. We are sorry
to be selling her after 19 years (14 years living
onboard) and close to 45,000 miles sailing. I attach some
photos of Sifu, it seems a while ago when you were onboard
in Annapolis. We had a good crossing Norfolk - Bermuda -
Azores - Scilly - Bristol in 1998 averaging 141.7 miles per
day and only used 40 gallons of diesel. In 2000 we sailed to
northern Norway, 68 degrees north inside the Arctic circle,
a fantastic experience.
VOYAGER DS 440 The Voyager DS 440
runs extremely smoothly in the water. We were a bit
afraid of the manoeuvrability due to the long keel
design, but no problem at all. It is a really handy
boat, although the mass feels. It's line it is not a
toy, it is a serious boat. :) Our course a lot of our
friends tried and one really experienced boat captain
said something, which I can only try to accurately
translate: "It's freaking good! :)" with a big smile on
his face. We had a plastic boat in lake Balaton before,
but we must say that was a toy compared to this. We also
tried creating waves with a friend's motor boat to see
how stable the boat is, and it did surprisingly well. It
is a huge difference compared to "normal plastic boats
build for charter purposes and not for cruising".

TRAWLER 62O
A JANUARY 2011 ... The Emerald Lady is in
Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas until April.
It was a wonderful trip. The boat ran great and was
very comfortable.
My wife is very pleased with the boat's
seaworthiness. Total mileage was 1200 NM on 950 gal. of
fuel. It uses about 150 hp to go 8kts. thru the water
under normal sea conditions. We are home in
PA for the holidays and will return to the Bahamas in
early January. At that time I will send you some current
pictures. Have a Happy New Year! Regards, Tom
Springer
