Hi. These are pages where we bring you pictures of boats being built, those that have been built  and those that are sailing. We have attempted to keep the file size of all pages to less than 100kb. This will enable even a older style modem to load a page in 20 seconds. 

The pictures on these pages will give you many hints and tips on how to go about building your dream boat.

All pictures on these pages are the work of Bruce Roberts International, with of course, the co-operation of the various builders. Private individuals are welcome to download and print for their own use. We do hold originals of nearly all these photo's here so if there is some finer detail that you wish to check out you are welcome to email for the uncompressed original.
