To attract the attention of owners and sailors of any of the Bruce Roberts designed sailing yachts and to encourage discussion about our boats.

Why...? Well, when I bought my 2006 BR Mauritius 43 I could find almost no informed information about the boats. What I could find was mainly ill informed, and based on the narrow preconceptions of yachtsmen familiar with GRP production line boats.

Why set up an Owners Group? Well 10 years ago when I bought my Halberdier Ketch I found a similar information desert so set about setting up the Halberdier Owners Group....

http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Halberdiers/

Or just Google.. Halberdiers Yahoo Group ... to see how it can work...

Result: A robust internet owners club that encourages owners in the early days of ownership, amuses and consolidates experienced owners, and importantly, by providing 'real life' informed advice to prospective purchasors will reinforce second hand prices and confidence in those new owners.

The amount of rubbish I read on various internet forums about the Bruce Roberts designs was pretty wide spread. Perhaps we can correct that!

This is a brand new 'Group' and has to start with a single new member. If you own, or are building, or aspire to ownership of a Bruce Robers design...

Join up, it costs nothing and has no commercial connections.
