The Roberts 43 mauritius and Norfolk has the same hull form as the Off shore 44 roberts 45 and Roberts 45 classic. The differences are in the keel and the transom, either full keel with keel hung rudder or short keel with the rudder on a skeg. The transom can be regular or reverse or on one I have see the builder had it vertical. the Classic has a slight clipper bow. These are solid boats that cruise well and can put in reasonable averages if attention is payed to sailing them well.

Boat: Trismus 37 (alloy) built in 1976 or 1986 depending on who you talk to!
