The Bruce Roberts 65 is a flagship of the bluewater cruising world, designed by the prolific naval architect Bruce RobertsGoodson for sailors who prioritize safety, selfsufficiency, and the ability to traverse any ocean in the world. As a design that is typically constructed in steel or aluminum, it represents the upper echelon of the Roberts "Plan" series, which allows for both professional shipyard construction and highly skilled amateur builds. Unlike production fiberglass yachts, the Roberts 65 is a heavydisplacement vessel, often exceeding 80,000 pounds, providing a stable and predictable platform that ignores the "hobbyhorse" motion common in lighter boats. The Bruce Roberts Official Website notes that the design—specifically the Global 65 variant—was engineered to accommodate various rig configurations, though it is most commonly seen as a ketch or a powerful cutter, allowing the crew to break down the sail area into manageable portions for shorthanded sailing.
