Bruce,
I just love the R470 boat plans! It is exactly what I wanted.

Other types of exterior woods, besides western red cedar or mahogany, for a clear exterior finish.  Richard

The boat plans for the Roberts 470 include the Roberts "SAFETY SKEG" as a option at no extra charge.

The Roberts safety skeg is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination and add a SAFETY FACTOR.  Many of you may be aware that skegs in general are vulnerable to damage so here is our answer to this problem.

This Wood/Epoxy ROBERTS 470 was built in Turkey and
is currently operating as a charter boat in that area.
The operation has been sufficiently successful to enable
a second vessel to be ordered from the same builders.
