The incident quoted happened about 10 years ago and obviously Mr. Roberts memory is not as good as he professes. I do not desire to engage in a pi$$ing contest, but Mr. Roberts should really check his sales records. I purchased the Offshore 38 plans in the late 70's and the boat was built by T.K. Atkinson and sons, Browns Bay. As stated, I attempted to discuss this with Mr. Roberts years ago, but he was never available. It was finally settled by e-mail.
About the same time I attempted to contact Mr. Roberts, I drove to a town in Maryland just south of Baltimore, and attempted to speak with his son who was running that office. I volunteered to make an appointment and come any time, but he was never available and I ended up always speaking with the secretary.
This is my last word on the subject as I am getting too old and tired for this sort of thing.

"The incident quoted happened about 10 years ago" Regards the incident quoted ... as I have lived in Europe for past 25 years I doubt that I would have been available for personal contact in the US ... Sorry that Chuck did not get the service he deserved ... Regards, Bruce

I am fully aware of your residence. I believe at the time you were living in the U.K. but were headed for vacation in Spain. You initially responded from Spain stating that you would soon be home.....I waited 2-3 weeks before trying to make contact again.
Thank you for responding.
Best regards,
Chuck
Incidentally......I circumnavigated in the Offshore 38. When built, we strip planked and then cold molded it, 2 layers of fabric/epoxy over.

Thanks Chuck ... The Offshore 38 was a very popular and sucessful boat as is its replacement the Roberts 370 ... I truly regret we did not make contact earlier !!! Regards, Bruce

Wow, way to impress with your customer service skills.

You, sir, have just proven your critics right and crossed yourself off the list of people I would consider buying plans from.
