Spray 40 "IDUNA 3"
Dear Bruce,
apologies for the delay in reply. I have been out of station for several weeks & my E-Mails have finally caught up with me.

The vessel is called Iduna III, she is a pilothouse ketch Spray 42' built 1984 (Capetown) & I located her in the Rio Dulce, Guatemala in September 1997. I traveled to Guatemala from Doha, Qatar (where I am based for work) to inspect her & agreed to purchase her in December 1997.

JUMBLY GIRL:

We all know that the Spray design is a stable and forgiving platform. While we may arrive later than the others we enjoy a more comfortable ride, with the capacity to carry more luxuries. I have just brought Jumbly Girl home solo (cutter-ketch Spray 40 C) from Florida to Falmouth.  A quiet and comfortable passage without drama. Now to get ready for another trip. Nic.   "Jumbly Girl"

Photo of "Haircut in the Old Bahama Channel", on passage from east end of Cuba up to the Carolinas. Note, empty cockpit, windvane doing the work, bread rising in the plastic bag. Just another day at sea.

"SPRAY MAKER"

This weekend our Centennial Spray 38 "Spray Maker" will be blasted ready for the painting and fit out to start.  I have been taking photos along the way so have a good record of the build process, if you are short of material or would like something for the Spray News let me know.  My wife - the writer in the family - will be producing an article or two for the Australian Spray Society so we could use this or a modified version. I thing Spray Maker will be a first in a number of areas, the first Centennial 38 in New Zealand and the first to be junk rigged, so someone in the world of Spray's may be interested. By the way our builder, Bowline Boats, is really impressed with the boat and design and is looking to specialize in this style of yacht. Cheers Pete

Bruce,
What a year.... I have not had time to give you updates on our Spray... I see that you still have the picture on the CS38 page.  Well I WILL send over some new pictures by snail mail.  We have finished the hull and got the first coat or Green gloss on the hull - it looks great, you cant even tell that it is steel it looks that good.

Letter from SPRAY 33 builder
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 priced other designers plans in the past, I was a bit leery when I saw the price of your plans. Having looked them over I can see where the extra 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."
