Accommodation :

This Robber 3E offers six berths in an open plan layout. It has 5ft 10in standing headroom. However, because of its beam, it has a more spacious interior than many other quarter tonners. There is one marine head with a hand basin. The upholstery is grey. There is no galeey facilities

History & Construction
The Robber 3E was a development of an earlier Swedish-designed yacht by Peter Stahle in circa 1975, originally made of multi-chine plywood. The 3E iteration was modified by Stuart Jardine, retaining the same underwater profile but featuring a straighter sheer line and a narrower transom to increase the sail area for IOR racing. It has been owned by the current owners for the past six years. It was last surveyed for insurance purposes in 2020. The Owners is are selling due to a lack of time to use her. She is currently ashore on her road trailer which is included in the price.
