Roberts NEW YORK 65

Hi Buce, Surfing a Bruce Roberts designed "Carol Lee" down some 12-14 occasional 16+ foot / 5 m seas. Winds were sustained 35 knots gusting higher. The Carol Lee is a steel 65 foot long cutter rigged sloop. This video was taken shortly after sunrise just south of Cape Mendocino. The Coast Pilot describes Cape Mendocino as a place of "great climactic change" I concur! Super fun!  Bruce, video of one of your designs  surfing down waves.  That's me on the helm.

Hi Bruce,
Andrew Bermel, my ex-USCG delivery captain sent u a link to the Carol Lee.  The original name was Melon Eye, so now you know: she actually is the New York 65 on your website. Second owner bought her in Coose Bay, OR sailed her to Ilwaco and put her in the boat yard 3 years ago. You designed a beautiful, very fast ocean runner: She starts surfing beyond hull-speed and can do a steady 14-17 knots, top speed so-far was 20.5 knots!    I'll send some pics later on,  Best Regards, Hans Duetz

The NY 65 features a low profile and will suit those that like their boats to look long and sleek ! A shorter deeper keel is available ... Cutter, Sloop of ketch sail boat plans can be used on this version.

Dear Bruce,   I have constructed a beautiful New York 65 "Melon Eye. I would like to share info with you.   Paul & Melinda West of Ketchikan Alaska.  Hello, I wasn't sure if Paul responded to you letter or not. We have made a lot of progress with the Melon Eye. We put her under Sail last year. The interior is almost done fewer stacks of lumber!  Thanks for the interest. She is really a beautiful boat. Paul has done a wonderful job. Paul & Melinda West.

On the left we see hull rolled over to the upright position and then the mold is lifted out of the hull shell. The mold is sometimes removed in one piece as shown here or in parts depending on the shape of the hull and the method used to laminate the hull.
