Spray 400  Steel Kit or Cutting Files and Plans
There are many drawings & photographs on this page, please read the following while they load:

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 400 A
Steel sailboat Kit or Cutting files

This Spray 40 A was the first Roberts designed Spray and was built at Marine Park Brisbane in 1968 for Charlie Jupp.

Hi Bruce, I sailed on the first 'Spray' you designed built by Charlie Jupp across the Pacific years ago.

 A cyclone done its best to pull the boat apart and loosing the rudder back-sliding down waves didn't help. Still, Spray did get us to land safely for which I hold the boat in high esteem. I have since owned several boats myself and sailed many oceans but never experienced anything such as what Charlie and I went through on that one particular leg.

Kind Regards  Rick Ganly

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I enclose pictures of my Spray and some editorial that the local paper ran after I brought her back from Copenhagen earlier this year. She is out of the water at the moment as there are a number of modifications that I want to make. We are due to re launch in April of this year.  I have found her to be very comfortable on the trips that I have made so far with my limited knowledge of sailing as all of my previous boats have been Motorboats. I find her to be ideally suited for two to live aboard and she gives the impression of immense strength, and well able to look after the crew as I found out in the North Sea Kind regards Mick Taylor.
