CRUISING IN EMERALD STEEL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAof2UQSOfY


Dear Bruce,  This email is 29 years overdue. In 1985 we purchased your blueprints for the 38' steel spray and the next year and a half we spent all our time building her in San Diego, Ca. At that time I , Jules, was 35 and my wife, Suzie, was 22. My wife learned how to weld for the project and so she did all of the welding. I did all of the cutting, grinding and general encouragement.

The next 20 years we sailed between 45 south and 55 north in the Pacific ocean. She has been our full time home ever since. She is very comfortable and a safe cruiser during the gales and storms of high latitudes.

We even went unharmed during Hurricane Iniki in Hawaii 1992. We would like to thank you for the fine design for which we have received many compliments over the years. Picture included.

We recently posted 3 clips of her on U-TUBE called The voyage of Emerald Steel. You might be interested in viewing them. Thank You again, Julius and Suzie Hanak  S/V Emerald Steel San Diego, Ca. U.S.A

SPRAY 38
Multi chine steel

22 March 2003  ...  Hello Mr. Bruce Roberts, I've attached nine photographs of a Roberts Spray-38 in steel, built from your boat plans. 

This boat was fabricated by my Father and Brother.  They have asked me to forward these photographs to you so that you can see another realization of your boat plans.  They modified your boat plans to make an aft cockpit.  Auxiliary power is provided by a Detroit 353 diesel engine, 86. Hp.

My Father is the owner.  His name is Donald R. Bradley. My Brother provided many hours of expert help in its construction.   His name is Jeffrey Bradley.  The boat is registered from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Thank you very much sir and best regards, Don Bradley, Jr.

 

Hello Bruce, these are some more pictures of the steel Spray 38 after launch built in Slidell, Louisiana, U.S. by my father, Don Bradley, and myself. You already have some posted on your site. She looks great rigged up!  We have had her out a few times this summer and sails smoothly. I will also send some more interior shots and forward an email from a friend containing a couple of good shots.
