Roberts 493 - Radius Chine Steel ... boat plans & Frame patterns

There are two different versions of this design - the Radius chine steel version that features a wing keel and the Fiberglass version that has a regular keel / skeg combination.

This design has appealed to many serious cruising sailors. It is available for construction in Radius Chine Steel or Aluminum or FIBERGLASS in either C-Flex, Foam or Balsa Sandwich or Single Skin Glass. A recent wave of "performance cruising boats" from a number of designers has obscured the fact that a good design always strives for the beat performance consistent with it's objectives. The Roberts 493 is an example : a stylish luxury cruising yacht for four to six people, capable of making fast passages in any weather and on any point of sail.

OWNER WRITES: To her sailing, everyone into boating and sailing in the northern half of the country (Chile) knows of "Pinguino".  She cuts an impressive figure and when she first crossed the bar, it was an awesome event for me and a whole bunch of friends that have been involved
