VOYAGER DS 440
Steel or Aluminum STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES, Cutting files & boat plans.
This new but already proven design features one unbroken sheer-line & the latest in deck salon arrangements. By careful design we have managed to reduce the height of the sheer-line thus reducing windage and improving performance.

This is one great performance cruising boat that incorporates all the design information we have gathered during 38 years of designing & building thousands of offshore cruising sailboats.

NOW BACK HOME IN HUNGARY AFTER SAILING AROUND THE WORLD - JUST ONE OF THE MANY HUNDREDS OF BRUCE ROBERTS DESIGNED BOATS THAT HAVE CIRCUMNAVIGATED THE GLOBE !

Hi Bruce,

I thought that you would like to see how my Voyager turned out. I launched her in September 2018, having started in April 2012. Almost all the work was done singlehanded and mostly part time, apart from moving some of the plates around early on. All went well and I am very pleased with the result, with no significant problems.

Last year we sailed the boat from Hampshire UK to Scotland where she remained for the winter. Unfortunately we are still isolating from Corona Virus, but hoping to get back within the next few weeks. Hopefully then return to Keyhaven for the coming winter and a few minor adjustments.

She is very comfortable to live on, and warm and dry in the winter, even with some ice around in the sea one morning. We had some bumpy seas in the English Channel last year and she appears to be a good sea boat. A 100 hp diesel Nanni pushes her along nicely at 8-9 knots.

Overall, very pleased and thank you very much for the design. The kit went together extremely well.

Regards, Julian Aldridge

We always read on your site (mostly in the newsletters, builders feedback) that your STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES fit together nicely. I think we have better than average possibilities creating the steel parts. We only had the cutting files, and we did cut the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES from steel sheets. Now that we have something assembled, we can say that the parts fit together like a charm. The boat plans are extremely accurate, Excellent boat plans, thank you very much! Best Regards, Norbert & Tamás Tóth Many more photos of this boat actually cruising are available with the STUDY PLAN package.
