Rogger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rogger is a glass-fibre (polyester) motorsailer produced in Holland. It was designed by Dick Lefeber (1927-2000) and stands out due to its sturdy appearance, robust construction and remarkable sailing characteristics.

From 1969 through 1976 Rogger hulls were produced by Polyboat/Polymarin/Halmatic and were completed by EISTA WERF in Ammerzoden and Nederhemert. After that, through 1979, the final Rogger models were built by Stangate Marine in Littlehampton/England and were sold as the Rogger 36 Ketch, Ushant 41 and Atlas Rogger 46. In total an estimated 90 Rogger types were built: 73 Rogger 10.5 (meters), 11 Rogger 12.5/Ushant 41 and 6 Rogger 14/Atlas Rogger 46. The Rogger Motorsailer Club is aware of the locations of 67 Rogger motorsailers (75% of the fleet).
