Bruce Roberts 53H 2000 sailboat:

There are currently well over 700 of this design in use worldwide, several in the charter business. It has proven to be a fast comfortable boat and there are many, many more being built in either multi chine and radius chine steel or aluminium, round bilge fibreglass and wood epoxy.

The boat can be built with either a Cutter or Ketch rig, with personal preference dictating the builders choice as she performs well under all rigs. Version A features a centreboard with a 5' draft and is best suited to fibreglass (C­Flex, foam sandwich etc.) construction. Versions E and G are designed with pilot houses and have been very popular, and the last version drawn, the Version H provides maximum comfort for two couples with two large staterooms.

The thickness is 3/16th inch.  Insulated above water line only, with sprayed soya based insulation.  The boat was totally sandblasted inside and out prior.  Afterwards, primer applied and then insulated.  first paint job was done by a professional who used International paint for metal boats.  Subsequent paint was done by us using the same paint brand.  Boat was launched in 2010 in fresh water and wash in fresh water for 8 years and then around 4 or 5 winter seasons in salt water.
