Dear Bruce,  I bought a Roberts 28 from Lyn Baker of Ithica N.Y.in 1989. I trucked it to Rochester N.Y. and sailed it in Lake Ontario for several years then to East Port Maine, where I went to a boat building school for two years I then sailed "One Day" from Eastport Down the east coast to Cape Cod Stopping at number of ports on the way.

When I got to Cape Cod my friend convinced me to sail home to Bermuda, so I did, in September of 1994 I set out for Bermuda it took me 12 days, I had estimated 10 days but I was hit by a tropical depression and survived Gail force winds for forty eight hours, this accounted for the two extra days.

The boat handled extremely well and I would do the trip again.  "One Day" is an extremely seaworthy craft. Yours truly Christopher M. Profit

Hi Bruce,  I purchased boat plans for the Roberts 28 last month.  I received them and they are GREAT.  Very satisfied with the quality of the boat plans.  I plan on using my boat for extended cruising in the Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean so I want to make SURE that everything is as ideal as it can be. Thanks again Todd Stinnette
