Saw this ad in the Bay Area. Really hard to think that someone would actually build this piece of fecal matter as a sailboat. All I can do is shake my head and think, "What was he thinking" and how many wives did he go through doing it because he must have been a weird dude. Roberts 45 sailboat

I look at the photos but my mind fails to process what I see. I choose to believe this is a lie.

As a yacht, its quite ugly. But as a livaboard, well, I guess it has a lot of space now. Just trying to find a positive.

But as far as humor is concerned, the Price is that funny, it could have its own sit-com.

Everyone has there own opinion of "modified for better live a board". I especially like the throw rugs, Home Depot refrigerator and the creepy doll on the berth...oh...I mean bed.

For a liveaboard it likely works wayyyy better than something intended to sail - but when I see something like this I always wonder WTF the "designs" that got rejected looked like!

I'm thinking this Roberts design has been "modified" by the owner/builder. I'm guessing if Mr. Roberts saw this boat he would immediately disown having anything to do with it's design.

I think there is a decimal missing in the price.marc

Bugger.... why wasn't this on the market when we were looking?
I guess we'll just have to be content with what we found...

Somebody beat the boat with an ugly stick. I think the only way boats like this get built is by folks who have the dream, but have never been to sea.

Looks like someone cut the top off a canal barge houseboat and epoxied it onto a sailboat hull!

Celestialsailor · 28-10-2012, 08:09

Believe it or not...this is what that boat was designed to look like. I have met people like this before. They are determined to do it there way and no one person or act of divine intervention can change their mind.
