This isn't your typical 1981 build. Laid up and left dormant for over two decades, this Bruce Roberts Offshore 45 wasn't launched until 2004, and wasn't truly finished — mast stepped, sails bent on — until 2009/10. What followed was a decade of serious offshore cruising, and in the last two years, a comprehensive re-equip that's brought her fully up to modern bluewater standard.The result: a proven, go-anywhere cutter with classic Bruce Roberts lines, a protected centre cockpit, and the kind of directional stability and heavy-weather manners that only a properly built full keel design delivers — now paired with essentially new rigging, power, water, and navigation systems. For anyone thinking about a Caribbean season or an ocean crossing without wanting to take on someone else's project, she's about as turnkey as a 45-year-old design gets — and she's already positioned in the Caribbean, which saves a delivery passage for US/EU-based buyers.
