Bruce Roberts Mauritius 45 - "Meridian of Sydney" - Legendary Steel Ketch
Presenting "Meridian of Sydney, " a true blue-water classic and a rare opportunity for the practical sailor. Built to the renowned Bruce Roberts Mauritius 44 design, this steel ketch is legendary for its exceptional strength, sea-kindly motion, and go-anywhere capability.
Currently berthed at Rebak Marina, Langkawi, this formidable vessel has been actively prepared for her next chapter. In February 2026, she was hauled out on the hardstand for significant work below the water-line: the prop shaft was replaced, and the hull below water line was stripped and completely repainted.
The current owner has laid the groundwork and mainted her with great care, and now she awaits a new custodian to take her on her next epic voyage.
A huge value-add for the new owner: The current owner has meticulously compiled an extremely well-detailed manual. This comprehensive document includes every detail about the boat, its systems, maintenance history, and voyage history--providing you with invaluable insight and peace of mind from day one.
Why "Meridian of Sydney"?
Exceptional Foundation: A fundamentally sound and well-maintained steel hull, featuring a modified rudder as recommended by the designer for enhanced performance and durability.
Recent Updates: Major work below the water-line completed in 2026 (new prop shaft, hull strip and repaint).
Liveaboard Ready: All major systems are in place, making her ideal as a capable liveaboard or the base for your next offshore voyage.
Comprehensive Manual: Includes an incredibly detailed owner-generated manual covering all systems and history.
Unbeatable Value: This is a phenomenally cheap entry point into one of the most respected steel blue-water cruisers on the market.
"Meridian of Sydney" is more than a boat; she is a proven offshore legend waiting for her next adventure. She is is available for viewing in Rebak Marina, Langkawi immediately.
