Hi Bruce, Now we have some experience with your Voyager DS440 boat plans. We always read on your site (mostly in the newsletters, builders feedback) that your kits fit together nicely. I think we have better than average possibilities creating the steel parts. We only had the cutting files, and we did cut the kit from steel sheets. Now that we have something assembled, we can say that the parts fit together like a charm. The boat plans are extremely accurate, Excellent boat plans, thank you very much!   Best Regards,  Norbert & Tamás Tóth

VOYAGER DS 440
ROBERTS SAFETY SKEG

The VOYAGER DS 440 features the Roberts safety skeg which is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination & add a SAFETY FACTOR.  You should be aware that skegs in general are vulnerable to damage so here is our answer to this problem. EMAIL Bruce to more details of this development.

The VOYAGER DS 440 - CLASSIC is available as a kit or cutting files so you can build this version. The obvious benefit of the Classic version is the addition of the aft deck behind the cockpit.

Hi Bruce!   Take a look at my blog http://metamundus-tom.blogspot.com/ to see your newest Brazilian baby growing up. By the way, congrats to you and your staff, the parts are fitting nicely together! Wonderful job!

Best regards! Thomas Ogrizek Brazil  Bruce Roberts - Voyager DS 440 Classic (Under construction)

The VOYAGER DS 440 features a one level deck ( no poop step ) and the modern unbroken sheerline.

The VOYAGER DS 440 has SIX different layouts including a 6 berth CHARTER version with twin cabins aft.

The STUDY PLAN package shows all the alternate layouts and much more.

The Voyager DS 440 is an extremely spacious boat ... Here we see two different arrangements for the master suite, both from Bruce Roberts sailboats ... one somewhat traditional and the other leaning towards the modern 'light interior' look. Both work well in this boat.

Here we see another arrangement from a Bruce Roberts sailboat that would work in this boat.
