Bruce Roberts Roberts 37 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used Bruce Roberts 370 means engaging with a design rather than a production line: these are 37-foot bluewater cruisers drawn from over 500 completed hulls in steel, aluminum, and fiberglass, many of them owner-built and offered in aft cockpit, center cockpit, or pilothouse form. Typical regional availability centers on Australia and the United States, and the boat's expedition record — Pacific crossings, Antarctic expeditions, and steel S370B circumnavigators — means used examples often arrive with serious miles already on them.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 370's interior is documented with 6-foot-6-inch headroom and 6 to 8 berths across a V-berth forward, U-shaped saloon, double aft cabin, L-galley, and dual heads with showers. Pilothouse or center-cockpit layouts are options alongside the aft-cockpit base, and generous tankage of 100 to 150 gallons fuel and 150 to 200 gallons water is standard to the design. Because the hull may be radius chine, multi chine, or round bilge and built in multiple materials, the same model name can mask very different structural packages.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, examples commonly carry a dodger, autopilot, chartplotter, solar, inverter, electric winches, hot water, bimini, dinghy davits, teak decks, and a circumnavigation history, with a safety skeg available as a custom feature on the design. The auxiliary is a diesel in the 30 to 50 hp range, with the Yanmar 4JH cited as a representative installation, and the boat can be rigged as a cutter, sloop, or ketch with a masthead rig and 650 to 700 square feet of sail. No items are flagged as frequent owner upgrades beyond the commonly fitted tier above.
What to Inspect
Documented known issues on the Roberts 370 are minimal in the authority records; the only flagged design element is the optional safety skeg, described as taking the best features from the long fin/skeg combination and adding a safety factor safety skeg rather than correcting a fault. Buyers should therefore commission a normal age-and-material survey — steel and aluminum hulls for corrosion and fiberglass for hull-core integrity — but no model-wide defect is recorded to target.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The 370 turns up in Australia and the United States, frequently with bluewater histories already logged. For a shopper, the practical shortlist is:
- Confirm hull material (steel, aluminum, or fiberglass) and build method
- Verify cockpit/layout variant (aft, center, pilothouse)
- Check rig configuration (cutter, sloop, ketch) and sail inventory
- Survey auxiliary (Yanmar 4JH-class diesel, 30–50 hp) and tankage
- Note any custom safety skeg or circumnavigation documentation
