INVESTIGATOR 563

This t/s caught my eye, very roomy with some good ideas.
It also has my favourite 1970’s furnishing.

Allot of fitting out work with nice wood, but it's been heavily customised with the multilevel stacked cabins, practical..(but reminds me of Immorten Joe's car.. ) The rudder setup looks like a custom one. It's always a bit risky to customise too far from the design.

The original Roberts 25 TS's are a bit easier on the eye, pilot-house and the coach-roof versions

Tho it's pretty hard to get full headroom into a 25ft shoal draft hull without it looking too high sided.

I love that statement “ no previous boat building experience required”. (famous last words)
Yes I agree Andrew looks top heavy and the original is a nice looking boat even the pilot house version looks good.
A boat has to look right and that’s what attracted me to the Investigator. Some t/s look like floating caravans.

Here's the sailboat data on Roberts 25

From this info, It's a very slightly under-canvased, moderate displacement, safe and comfortable coastal cruiser. Engine used more in lighter winds.
