"HENRIKA"
This steel Roberts 53 was built as a Training Ship
for the "Boy Scouts of Finland"

There are currently well over 700 of this design in use worldwide, several in the charter business.  It has proven to be a fast comfortable boat and there are many, many more being built in either multi chine and radius chine steel or aluminium and round bilge fiberglass.

Roberts 53 (R532)  "Pelican"

"Bruce,  I have a Roberts 53, which has been very well built, of GRP in 1985. I bought it in 1995.  We have sailed around most of the coast of Australia and in a couple of long distance races. The 11 day race from Fremantle to Indonesia gave us line honours as well as a handicap trophy.

We recently got back to Australia from a trip through Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu. I am very pleased with her design, building and performance as a cruising ketch. We have been accepted as an entrant in this years Sydney Hobart Race, cruising section. Regards Gil Waller
