SPRAY 370 - Pre-cut steel kit or cutting files and plans.
The original Spray 36 was a stretched Spray 33 and with several hundred of the S36 in service worldwide, we felt NOW was the time to update this sail boat. Since starting work on this project we have realized the huge potential of this boat design. The large range of versions in the Spray 370 series offers something for all. Please check out the various general arrangements and see if one of these can be the basis of YOUR boat.  Spray 370 is only available from  AUTHORIZED  Bruce Roberts DESIGN OFFICES. During the conversion from the Spray 36 to the Spray 370 Kit we increased the beam by 8 inches. We 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 !

Dear Bruce,
Finally some pictures of her sailing! I have had a few trips up and down the coast from Fujairah and as always she behaves well. I am lifting her out later this month for antifouling and I am using Cuprotect System as it is guaranteed 5 years and purported to be a 10 year plus treatment. I will let you know how I get on with that. She now has davits on the back with a Niccollslite NN10 nesting dinghy hanging from them. On long trips I can put the dinghy nested on the foredeck. The watermaker is on the way Ultra Whisper 600 from Sea Recovery.  

I would just like to say how pleased I am with the Spray 370 and thank you for all the support you and Hal have given me during the build. Best regards Bill Wigan, Dubai.  NOTE: THE LATEST SAILING PHOTOS OF THIS SPRAY 370 ARE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY PLAN PACKAGE.
FROM SPRAY 370 BUILDER:

Hal and Bruce- The photo is of the jig I used to tack weld the second keel side while ensuring that the curvature was exactly the same as the first unit. The fit-up of the plasma cut pieces is amazingly precise. -Don Pate - Oregon, USA
JUST RECEIVED ... FROM SPRAY 370 BUILDER:

Subject: Re: Spray 370 A ...  I have finished cutting my kit using your cutting files; I would like to thank you for the time & effort you put into the nesting. I thought it would be good but I am amazed at the ease with which the machine just chugged along and the result with all the alignment marks and part numbers etched on, brilliant!  The file modifications for the aft cabin roof and the etching for the walk thru all appeared on the plate. It really is good to deal with professional people. The construction of the hull is going smoothly. I cannot say how pleased I am with the result of your cutting files ! Thanks and Regards Bill Wigan Dubai  ...SEE MORE

Hi Bruce,
Just had a great sail up the coast from Fujairah to Dibba and back. 2 days at anchorage. The Spray 370 is a brilliant and
comfortable boat. Still no pictures sailing. I shall have to maroon a member of the crew so they can take some!  Cheers Bill Wigan.

Hello Bruce, I promised you some images of the boat in its' current state.  The exterior is coated with light grey epoxy primer, on top of  that below the water line is pitch-epoxy.  The 10mm thick toughened glass windows have all been installed along with the Vetus vents.  Two of these will be covered with the Vetus dorade box and have a nice stainless steel cowl ventilator.  I have them but I'm afraid to mount them till it's in the water because of possible theft.  You can see from the images that the boatyard is a pretty rough place along the Thames.  Check out my 316 s.s. fabricated bowsprit!  I have more to add to it to accommodate the anchor rollers.

Thanks for getting Edgar in Holland to help me with the rudder hydraulic cylinder sizing, he was very efficient and logical.  The 48hp turbo-diesel Bukh is mounted and aligned along with the prop shaft.  All four stainless steel tanks have been installed, diesel, water, black and grey water.  I've had the majority of the interior framework welded in, including all five door frames.  I am installing a 5kw Mastervolt generator right behind the pilot station.  You can't beat these Dutch when it comes to making things for boats! I have configured both a forward and a stern head along with passage way doors to pass through the engineroom back to the stern berth.  I'll send you some interior shots so you can see what that looks like.  Thanks for all you help and advice.  Kind Regards, Dave  DAVE'S PHOTOS AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE STUDY PLANS ON CD

SPRAY: "Spray of Dell Quay"

Dear Bruce,

I have had the pleasure of sailing "Spray of Dell Quay" for her owner from Wales to Ireland in 2001 and from Ireland to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight in 2002.

This year I have had the chance to sail Spray from Lymington to Ireland again. This time arriving in Youghal and proceedimg along the south coast of Ireland visiting Kinsale, Castlehaven, Baltimore, around Fastnet to Skull, Bear Island, Castletownbear, through the Dursey sound and on to Sneem, out around the Skellig's, Caherciveen, Dingle, in and around the Blasket Islands Ballydavid, Fenit, on to Foynes and then to Limerick docks where the mast was lowered for her trip up the Shannon to near Lanesboogh. I had no shortage of crew volunteers for any stage of her voyage and some left and returned for different stages.


Everywhere we went she drew great attention and of course Joshua Sloacum was mentioned by many of the admirers. I am home a week now and I am suffering seperation anxiety. it was awonderful trip. Spray is going for a much needed paint job and refit and hopefully will return to salt water next season.
 
Regard's Robert H Sharpe

Thank You Bruce for your advice, I recalled that you were very easy to work with back in the late 70's when I built my Offshore 38.  I see that same persona still exists.  Thanks you for the advice on boat selection.  Regards Glen
