Hi Bruce,

We finally, we have taken time off doing the interior jobs to do a sailing sea trial! A sedate and gentle sail of around 40 nm over 2 days, and our yacht performed wonderfully. In a steady 20 knots, we didn't bother to run the mizzen and and even partly furled the main, just to "get a feel" for how she handles. Just off the breeze we were easily able to achieve 6 knots, even making 7 knots and better at times.

We had the full main set for an hour or so, and our yacht was well balanced and sailing with very little heel just off the breeze.  Regards Rob McGill and Nina Morissette

Here are some comments from a broker in South Africa who sold a Centennial Spray that was built in Vietnam:

Centennial Spray - I sold for original owner,  Entre Deux Mers - She was built in Vietnam - a couple of photos attached (I have more if you would like for your records/files).  The new owners are just lovely and they absolutely love the boat. They are based in Middle East and intend to come over here to Langkawi at every school holiday opportunity - twice already since purchase. Thank you again for your assistance, Kind regards Michele

Centennial Spray 38
This boat can be built in Round bilge Steel or Wood/Epoxy. Several alternate accommodation and sail boat plans would be possible. A pilot house could also be added. This sketch shows the interior of the "Classic" production version of this design. Round bilge steel hull and decks and complete boats are available. You can build this boat in Round Bilge steel or Wood/Epoxy strip plank.
G'day Bruce,
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.
Hi Bruce,   Just thought we'd update you with the progress of our CS38. As of today the 30th of May, we're past halfway through planking the first diagonal layer on the hull. We completed fairing the fore and aft strip planking early last week. We have a small web page up showing progress (of course it IS about 3 weeks out of date, but there's a lag in getting film out of the camera!):  See a Wood/Epoxy CS38 under construction.
