1995 Bruce Roberts Bober TS-434 | Steel Bluewater Cutter
This 1995 Bruce Roberts Bober TS-434 is a robust steel cruising yacht designed for offshore sailing and extended life aboard. Benjamins, specialists in metal yacht construction, built her with strength and long-distance cruising in mind. Her long keel, skeg-hung rudder and cutter rig provide a practical setup for serious cruising. She is currently lying in Licata, Sicily.
A 40hp Mercedes OM636 diesel engine provides reliable propulsion. Recent maintenance includes a new diesel filter and impeller. For greater independence, she carries solar panels, a Silent Wind generator and an Eco Sistems Splash 25 watermaker. Shore power supports the onboard electrical systems. She also carries approximately 400 litres of fuel and 300 litres of fresh water for extended cruising.
The cutter rig features aluminium spars and stainless steel standing rigging. Her sail inventory includes a slab-reefing mainsail, furling genoa and staysail. On deck, an electric windlass operates a Bügel anchor with 60 metres of chain. A sprayhood and bimini provide additional protection in the cockpit. She also comes with a tender and 6hp outboard, serviced in 2024.
Below deck, the Bruce Roberts TS-434 provides accommodation for up to six across two cabins and the saloon. Heating and air conditioning add comfort throughout the seasons. The practical interior layout also makes her well suited to extended cruising and liveaboard use.
With substantial steel construction, a cutter rig and useful self-sufficiency systems, this Bruce Roberts Bober TS-434 offers genuine offshore cruising capability. She presents an appealing option for buyers seeking a strong, practical bluewater cruiser or comfortable liveaboard yacht.
