2012 Bruce Roberts V495

Dream Catcher is a professionally designed, ocean cruising cutter, strongly built to a superior standard by an experienced boat builder.  She is well laid out, finished with teak interior joinery and well equipped for world cruising.  The vessel and systems have been proven via a recent circumnavigation. Some renewal of equipment and components has been completed since her return in 2020 and she is ready for cruising again .
