Roberts P.C.F. 40

The P.C.F 40 is one of my favourite boats and makes an ideal family motor sailer. The hull is based on a trawler design that we built in the 1970's and as with all well designed trawler hulls - this is a great sea boat.

 

You can rig this boat with a variety of sail plans.

This is the original accomodation plan.

This is the accomodation plan we have prepared for the new steel KIT version. You can vary the layout to suit yourself.

 

 

Roberts P.C.F. 40

There are over 200 PCF40's currently in service world-wide.

Bruce, looking through your web site I had a pleasant surprise to find my PCF 40 photo's used. If for any reason you would like further information or photo's please do not hesitate to contact me.

I recently, (Easter 2006) spent 5 days on board "MOJO II" heading towards Townsville in some very ordinary weather, 25 to 30 knot wind and 2 to 3m seas, and she handled it with ease.

I have found the boat very sea worthy and economical after travelling from Sydney to the Whitsunday's ( about 1200 nm ) where it now resides, and is used for family holidays.  Warren Goddard

The PCF 40 is flush deck forward making for easy anchor handling and plenty of space to stow the dinghy etc.

Roberts P.C.F. 40

Australian Built PCF 40 - This boat was built at our Marine Park boat-yard back in the 70's - the boat is still in service and in recent years has commanded a good re-sale value.

 

Roberts P.C.F. 40

Here we see a steel PCF 40 hull ready for turn over.

The kit version is simpler to build as it is built upright and this saves the turn-over operation. You can start with a KIT or Cutting files and plans and have the kit cut locally.
