Custom Van de Stadt/Roberts Bluewater Sailing

A MUST see. Custom 60 ft Van de Stadt/ Roberts Steel Ketch with GRP Deckhouse, in excellent condition.

Completely refitted between 2010 and 2017 by original owner, including top of the line rigging and sails, this exceptional sailing yacht is a rare gem, designed to cruise the world in speed and comfort.

We (husband and wife) have sailed her from Cairns to Victoria and now we are making our way back to Cairns. We are currently in Port Stephens heading next to the Gold Coast to have her next antifouling done in July. We have place this ad for serious buyers to book a time with us during this haulout.
