Roberts 30 Motorsailer "Vanessa"
$64,990
“Vanessa” is a 30-foot Motorsailer with all the attributes of a 40-footer. This vessel with its solid construction, long keel, high topsides, sheltered cockpit and outstanding accommodations is the perfect southern waters coastal cruiser for a couple or a small family. With her comprehensive array of operational electronics, twin helms, simple rig (managed from the cockpit) and the 'like new' 35 hp Beta diesel (with very low hours) “Vanessa” is ready for you to step aboard and explore the Channel and beyond. This vessel represents a rare opportunity. You will not find a comparable, so complete and manageable 30-foot cruiser of the calibre of 'Vanessa' anywhere.
The current knowledgable (and fastidious) owner of some 27 years has maintained a rigid maintenance programme and undertaken numerous upgrades.
