The standard sail plan is a ketch rig and the layout as drawn has a spacious aft cabin.

You can build the Roberts 58 in either Round Bilge Fibreglass or Radius Chine Steel or Aluminium. The complete plans and Full Size Patterns include many sheets of large-scale drawings, plus full-size patterns for the hull, deck and cabin top beams, etc.

ROBERTS 58 Amor Fati  is a proven cruiser that has both been there and come back again. Designed by  Bruce Roberts, she is outfitted for the serious cruiser. Once again, she is on the high seas on her way from Rome to San Diego. She left in late October 2005, will depart the Canaries in late November to cross the Atlantic and arrive in Barbados before Christmas. Her sail plan then calls for stops in Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada before the New Year.

In January, she will see Curacao, Bonair, Aruba, Cartagena, San Blas, Puerto Bello, and Colon Panama. She is expected to transit the Panama Canal in the third week of January and then head for the West Coast and San Diego.

Hello Bruce,
We are currently the owners of a Roberts 58 steel ketch, very happy with it, and are considering building a large catamaran, such as yours. Cheers Richard Taylor

ROBERTS 58
Radius chine steel or aluminum

The radius chine technique shown here makes it easy for any person capable of welding to achieve a beautiful and fair metal hull and this is an ideal method to build the new Roberts 410

The STUDY PLANS on CD show step by step photos on building your radius chine sailboat hull.

Hello,  

My lovely ex wife told me to check out your web site and I found pictures of the Roberts 58’ my father built when I was 12.  I am now 42 and purchased the boat from my father a few months ago and am now taking her from Seattle to St Croix USVI where I live.  The first leg of the trip went from Seattle to San Diego and the next leg will leave around the 30th of this month and go onto Panama then to St Croix.  I do believe that the Roberts boat my father and I built may be the finest Roberts boat ever completed and I am proud to have been apart of the process of building her and now getting her to the warm Caribbean waters.  Feel free to use any pictures of my boat newly renamed the S/V Parrothead.  You can see many more pictures of the boat on my website www.viescape.com and go to the sailing page and click on the Parrothead logo.

Cheers,   Captain David
