Bruce Roberts 34
Description
The Bruce Roberts 34 is a versatile, heavy-displacement cruising sailboat designed by renowned naval architect Bruce Roberts, intended for blue water and coastal voyaging with an emphasis on durability, safety, and affordability. Available as plans or CNC-cut kits for steel, fiberglass, or wood-epoxy construction, the design allows owner-builders or professional yards to create semi-custom vessels at lower costs than production yachts. Featuring a long keel or fin keel with optional skeg-hung rudder, the Roberts 34 offers stable handling for extended passages, with a spacious interior for 4–6 berths, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking a rugged, liveaboard-capable cruiser with over 200 built worldwide since the 1970s.
