2006 Bruce Roberts 49

This 50-foot Bruce Roberts pilothouse cutter is a steel-hulled, cutter-rigged ocean cruiser built for serious long-distance sailing. The design emphasizes offshore capability with heavy ballast, generous fuel and water capacity, and substantial sail area. A 100-horsepower Isuzu diesel powers the boat, with recent service intervals logged at 1191 hours. Maximum speed reaches 8 knots, with a cruising speed of 5 knots, suited for extended passages. The aluminum deck-stepped mast with Strong Tack rigging was installed in 2021, and a Maxwell dual windlass supports the cutter configuration for manageable handling.

Below deck, three staterooms and two heads with showers provide comfortable accommodation for extended living aboard. The galley is fully equipped with ample counter space and storage, while the pilothouse offers all-weather navigation from inside the cabin. Headroom throughout is generous. Entertainment includes a flat-screen TV and Starlink Wi-Fi. Storage is abundant for provisioning long voyages.

The steel deck features a nonskid finish and was completely repainted in 2022 with white Awlgrip and green trim. The sea chest was fully rebuilt to provide simplified, reliable water intake for extended cruising. Solar panels and a water-maker support off-grid capability. A new 10-foot West Marine RIB tender with a 9.9-horsepower Yamaha outboard is included.
