Another Roberts 25 lies at anchor in a cove on the Australian coastline.

 

With over 1,000 examples already sailing in almost every part of the world this is one of our most popular sailboats. Capable of off-shore cruising this is one rugged sailboat that can be easily handled by one person but can accomodate a small family on extended cruises.   

 

I purchased my boat plans for a Roberts 25 from Bruce Roberts in about 1975.  A couple years later I purchased a Hull and Deck from Morrissey, Port Moody, Canada, and finished out the Roberts 25 in Mesa, AZ.  In 1981, my then 11 year old son and I took my month long shake-down cruise on the Aarian in the waters along the West coast of BC. 

Since then I've cruised in the coastal waters on the East and West coasts of the US, West coast of BC, Puget Sound, and the Gulf of  California, as well as on some of the lakes in AZ.
