Broker's Comments
The Robber 3E, one of the most successful Quarter Tonner designs, is the modified version of the earlier 1970’s variety. The 3E provides increased sail area and this example also has a new, larger rig.
As a light displacement cruiser, the boat provides numerous attractive sailing options, from coastal cruising to competitive club racing. This example has been a club class winner and has had significant investment in replacement rigging and the sail wardrobe.
The boat is presented in very good condition externally and would only require limited cosmetic touches, internally, for cruising purposes. When I visited the boat I was impressed by the quality of the potential sailing performance this boat has, while still having the feel of a seakindly cruiser.
