Brokers Comments

Vessel was custom designed by John Gilbert of Boston who is best known for his commercial work with ferries, party and fishing boats; her structural aluminum work was done to heavy commercial standards using the best available alloys by Winninghoff boats of Rowley, Ma. She was built for a very knowledgeable owner who had owned a fleet of commercial vessels.

Her interior was completed to high yacht standards by Mountain Boatworks of Pocasset, MA and her systems were designed and completed by an extremely talented local marine engineer.

Vessel combines the best of strong, low maintenance commercial grade construction system and with warm and pleasant interior accommodations for two couples or the cruising family.

“Roving C's” unusual design, strong construction, Naiad stabilizers, large fuel capacity and redundant systems invite offshore passage to areas less traveled; she is intended to be independent of shore side facilities as much as her owner’s desire.

“Roving C's” is highly recommended to those who seek rugged distinctive, low maintenance, economical trawler for extended cruising and living aboard.
