The original Spray 33 has been enlarged to create this new kit. With hundreds of S33's in service worldwide, we felt NOW was the time to update this sailboat. Since starting work on this project we have realized the huge potential of this boat design. The new versions in the Spray 340 series offer something for all. Please check out the general arrangements and see if one of these can be the basis of YOUR boat.

Spray 340 is only available from AUTHORIZED Bruce Roberts DESIGN OFFICES.
During the conversion from the Spray 33 to the Spray 340 Kit we have made subtle changes to the bow; this allowed for easier fitting of the forward plates plus an increase of space in the internal accommodation areas.

There are over 5,000 Sprays already sailing world wide plus over 1,000 currently being built from our plans and kits. We have been willing to listen to every combination of idea's about this wonderful boat and several layouts have been drawn. Many of these features are interchangeable between the various versions.

This boat is designed in accordance with Lloyds  for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the  CE-A require. Complete stability calculations are included in the design package. All calculations are also cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets world-wide standards and specifications.

In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position. Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth edges.
 
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma weld MC welding primer.  We use and recommend steel plate that has the official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B certificate.

Many of these Sprays have completed complete circumnavigations some more than once & usually with crews consisting only of two persons !

Spray 33 TY rig

Asi loves to play with his boats;  this is the new rig he has had me design for his Spray 33 / 34 - the rig in now available with Spray 340 kit.

 

 

"Plucky Lady" Here we are on our  way from the Cabo Verde Isl. To Guadeloupe. "Plucky Lady" is a Spray 33 - steel version. She's custom built and was launched in 95. She's a very fine, seaworthy and comfortable boat. We are very happy with her. Best regards L. D. France

I have just received my plans for the Spray 33. I am overwhelmed by the number of drawings and the detail including deck fittings right down to the plans for the Roberts Dinghy.   This is not my first boat building experience. I have built what my wife refers to as "toy" boats, a 14' wood /epoxy daysailer and a 20' cedar strip canoe. This will be my first "serious" boat building experience and I am looking forward to getting started.  Having looked them over I can see where the cost lies. The plans from other designers do not compare.  I would not hesitate to recommend Bruce Roberts for boat building plans to anyone who might ask. Sincerely, Rick Deschenes  "If you spend all your time trying to get even, you will never get ahead."
