Bruce,
I recently purchased a GRP Roberts 50 called Solitaire. The boat was built in the mid 70s and as such must be one of the first Roberts 50s built. I understand the boat has circumnavigated and ended up in Brisbane in the mid 80s.

On another note, we have now covered over 2000 miles in the last 18 months both in a cruising mode and participating in the local ocean races. To date we have been very impressed with the boats performance, particularly whilst racing in Bass Strait in winds gusting over 50 knots.

I hope you will be able to assist in the information gathering . Thanks & Regards Mark Folley
