Broker's Comments
Professionally built for her previous owner by Terry Erskine in Wadebridge UK, this Bruce Roberts 53, with a bit of TLC, has the makings of a very nice yacht. The current and second owner now finds that, with advancing age, she is a bit too much and has reluctantly asked us to find a buyer.
