Want to build a boat Bruce Roberts 434

[asbruce]

My brother and I want to build a boat and like the Bruce Roberts 434 B Plan. I am looking for information on BR boats in general. I want to communicate with some satisfied customers. Are the plans/kits any good? Looking for reviews of the company (repitation, cooperation, etc.). Or any other reputiable company who provides similar products.

Thanks,
Aaron

My dad and I bult a 45 offshore, he sailed it around the world with my mom.
They are great cruising boats. If you look at the Bruce Roberts site, there are photo's of a steel 45 from start to sailing. Thats the one.
