The Voyager DS radius chine kit (steel) is the latest refinement of this world cruising sailboat and has all the qualities that the Bruce Roberts designs are famous for. This hull has been designed for fast passage making but is equally at home racing around the buoys. Alternate accommodation lay-outs, various cockpit arrangements are available.
The Voyager DS is one of the new series of sailboats that can be customized to suit any requirements. Each kit can be varied so you get the features you are looking for in a cruising sailboat. There are several different possible accomodation layouts; these are arranged so the customer can mix & match by taking elements from one layout and switching it with another etc., plus of course he may have his own ideas as to what would be best for his needs.
The Voyager DS features one unbroken sheerline and the latest in deck salon arrangements. By careful design the height of the sheerline is reduced thus reducing windage and improving performance. Also, she features the Roberts safety skeg which is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination & add a SAFETY FACTOR.The skegs in general are vulnerable to damage, so here is the answer to this problem.
These cruising sailboats are designed in accordance with Lloyds for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the CE-A require. Complete stability calculations to USCG offshore requirements are included in the design package. All calculations are also cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets world-wide standards and specifications.
