I am thinking about to build a Bruce Roberts 340 because I like some
details of it and I am close to order his plans (but not the cutting files).
Before taking any decision I would like to get some more information of
others because BR makes a lot of advertising and he is talking about
thousands of boats built, however
the little information in news list and others are mostly not very
favourable on the quality of plans and the saling quality and on BR
himself.
This makes me a little suspicious.

I cannot find any of his boats on the secondhand market.

So could you please comment:

1.Is it possible to build one of his designs out of his plans easily or
with a lot of complications ?
2. Are the plans complete ?
3. Does BR give a sufficient after sail service, by answering questions
or does he only want to make money ?
4. Has anybody seen a Bruce Roberts design and spoken to the skipper
about the boat ?
5. General remarks on his design and the stability ?
6. Are there any stability information about his boats ?
7. Why are none of his boats on the second hand market ?

Thanks for helping me.
