Bruce Roberts 434 (Segelboot) - Verkauf

Remarks :
Bruce Roberts 434D (Modified) – Now £49,500
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantially completed, modified Bruce Roberts 434D steel cruising yacht and finish her to your own specification. With the hull professionally welded by renowned shipwright Peter Keig of Fairhaven Boat Builders circa 1996, this impressive blue-water cruiser offers exceptional potential for anyone seeking a capable long-distance liveaboard or offshore passagemaker. Powered by a Perkins 60HP diesel engine and offering accommodation for up to seven berths across two cabins and the saloon, together with two heads compartments, the foundations are in place for a truly comfortable cruising yacht. The vessel benefits from unusually large double-glazed windows and hatches, creating a bright, airy interior rarely found in steel yachts of this size.
Included in the sale are the mast, boom, stainless steel standing rigging, blocks and a quantity of timber intended for the completion of the interior fit-out, representing a significant investment already made by the current owner. The original intention was to complete the yacht and cruise extensively in the Mediterranean, but changing health circumstances have forced the sale before the project could be finished.
For the right buyer, this presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a proven ocean-going design at a fraction of the cost of a completed vessel, while retaining the ability to personalise the final specification. The owner is motivated to achieve a quick sale and is open to sensible offers.
Storage and continued workspace at Iron Wharf Boatyard may be available by separate negotiation, allowing the new owner the opportunity to complete the project in its current location.

Moving forward into the main saloon, the bright and welcoming living area features a large central dining table that converts into a double berth when required, providing flexible accommodation for guests. Large windows and mushroom vents throughout ensure excellent ventilation and a light, airy atmosphere below decks.

Hot water is supplied via a large calorifier, making extended cruising particularly comfortable.
Adjacent to the saloon is the navigation station, complete with a dedicated chart table and a useful single berth nearby, ideal for passage-making or additional guest accommodation.
Forward, the spacious V-berth cabin can be configured as either twin berths or converted into a generous double berth. Beneath the berth is a substantial sail locker, providing valuable storage for sails and cruising equipment.
Good ventilation is provided throughout the vessel by mushroom air vents fitted in all cabins, helping to maintain a comfortable environment in a wide range of conditions.

History and Construction:

This Bruce Roberts 434 Modified was constructed in circa 1996. The original design was modified to remove the sugar scoop stern to provide a longer length to be used for aft storage. The deck was also raised to meet the higher level to make the aft cabin larger with larger windows and thus lighter. The hull was made by Peter Keig at Weaver Shipyard in Northwich, Cheshire. It has a white hull and topsides. The yacht has been in Ironwharf boat yard and has been partially completed internally, but is at a stage where modifications could be made to customise it to someone's personal taste. The current owner who is the second owner, had plans to finish the build and sail off to the Med. Unfortunately, medical conditions mean that this dream is no longer possible as the task is too much.
