This design has appealed to many serious cruising sailors. It is available for construction in  fiberglass in either C-Flex, Foam or Balsa Sandwich or Single Skin Glass. A recent wave of "performance cruising boats" from a number of designers has obscured the fact that a good design always strives for the best performance consistent with it's objectives. The Roberts 493 is an example : a stylish luxury cruising yacht for four to six people, capable of making fast passages in any weather and on any point of sail.

The SUPER STUDY PLAN PACKAGE has details on all the different construction techniques and includes materials lists, sail plans and accommodation layout. Only $59.
