1986 Bruce Roberts Norfolk 43 by OceanStar Marine
BRUCE ROBERTS NORFOLK 43, PROFESSIONALLY BUILT BY OCEAN STAR MARINE, INTERIOR FINISHED BY LITTLE HARBOR MARINE & HINCKLEY IN PORTSMOUTH, RI. Not launched until 1998.
Sail anywhere with confidence aboard this rugged and strong ice-breaker! Repowered with a Yanmar diesel in 2007, and just went through a full restoration. This is a steel boat that was built right!
"Steal Away's" construction is as solid as it looks. She is properly insulated above the waterline and coated on both the interior and exterior. See photos for insulation and finishing, as well as contrsuction photos. From her stainless steel Samson posts to her oversized Maxwell windlass, she's built to withstand anything. Her in-mast Hood roller furling main makes her easy to sail, and her wind and solar power give her self-sufficiency. She is truly a special boat--there are many Bruce Roberts 43's on the market, but none that were built like this!
When you are shopping for steel boats, you will find many that were built in a backyard or built by novices. That is NOT the case with "Steal Away!" Built and finished by some of the most professional yards in the industry. There is not a spot of rust, as she has been coated and maintained properly. Thick insulation above the waterline but not below.

1980 Jomar/Bruce Roberts 53 Cutter
Endorfin was built from a Bruce Roberts 53 set of plans, but modified buy Jomarco. She is a cutter rig with a 62 ft mast. Even though a proven design, Jomarco made it an even more desirable cruising boat. The hull is designed after a Sparkman & Stevens Fastnet race boat and has a hand-laid fiberglass hull which is 1 3/4" thick at the gunnels. Endorfin went through a 5 year refit from 2005 to 2010 for the sole purpose of extended, long range, self sufficient, cruising. We will do our best to properly project the overwhelming qualities in this sailing vessel. She is a one off, one of a kind special rig. She was designed for open ocean travel and is for the discriminating sailor. Not be confused with a cookie cutter production boat.
