Roberts 341 Version A

Dear Mr. Roberts,  Many years ago (approx.1983) I purchased the boat plans for the Roberts 341A and built it over the span of many years. I have now been sailing it since 1990 off the shores of Halifax Nova Scotia.

 I am very pleased and impressed with the sailing characteristics and appearance of the boat. I would very much like to build a model of the boat for my basement as a center-piece.

However, the drawings are full size and I was wondering if I could get a 1/10 version or an offset table to produce the lines. Yours truly,   Wolfgang Dzimbowski ... BRUCE replied ... no problem and sent Wolfgang some specially sized patterns.

Hi there, I've attached a picture of Aries Tor anchored in the Chagos archipelago in the Indian Ocean. We left Lake Ontario three years ago aboard this ROBERTS 341 built in Montreal in the early nineties.

She has been an excellent passage maker, quite surprisingly keeping up with the bigger boats most of the time. She secured a place in my heart early on when she brought me safely through a gulf-stream storm between Halifax and Bermuda. Our bow continues to point west for the time being. Thanks for an excellent design!  Rob Lang

Have a "perfect" Bruce Roberts 341 and have used it to cruise the ICW from South Texas to the Keys, the Bahamas, and up the East Coast for the last nine years.  Laid the keel in 1985 and launched in 1986 in Seabrook, Tx.  

Did not follow boat plans on cockpit, but laid it out flat from pilothouse door.   Gives us a "patio" over a great workroom and generator room.  Now that I've found you, I'll stay in touch and draw on your expertise. Thanks for a great boat.  HONAHLEE   thanks Larry

Comments: We just finished an eleven year cruise on our Roberts 341. She was built beginning in 1985, finished in 1986. The boat is a superb cruiser, roomy, and easy to handle.
