HELP - BOAT FOR SALE - CAN YOU HELP! ... felicity@thesmiths.net.au

Hi there Bruce, this is drawing a REALLY long bow but I wonder if you can help us at all. 

I live just outside Brisbane, my sister-in-law in Windhoek Namibia.  My brother died suddenly a few months ago.  His UK registered ketch Siobhan is lying at anchor in Luderitz.  My brother had just left Cape Town having refitted the yacht for extended cruising and was on his way up the coast to pick up my sister-in-law but then his liver failed and he died.  The problem is I am in Australia, Antje knows nothing about boats and we can’t get the boat back to Cape Town because the weather windows just aren’t there at this time of year.  There are no brokers in Namibia and the yacht is in a big open bay.

This is probably just silly writing to you like this, but I thought I would give it a shot, we feel so lost.  Kind regards, Felicity .. CONTACT felicity@thesmiths.net.au

Bruce,

"Clarity" is finally sold and my wife is happily investing the proceeds in our new home!  "Clarity" will winter-over in Deale, MD; then she will sail to her new home in Muskegon, Michigan.

Please remove from your website, or mark it sold if you prefer. I want to thank you for your consistent responsive support throughout both the building and more recently, the process of finding her a new home. The entire adventure has been fun, rewarding, and fulfilling for me. I am and will remain a true advocate of your designs, your service to your
followers, and of you, Bruce.

If I can ever return the many favors, perhaps in the way of an experienced advocate, I would consider it an honor and privilege. Also if you and yours ever travel through western North Carolina, Teresa and I would feel honored to have you here for a layover.  By the way, I would also like to make you aware that the professional broker I worked with, Mr. Nick Dykert of Denison Yacht Sales in Ft Lauderdale, has become quite knowledgeable about Clarity, about steel, and about, perhaps most importantly, the human psychology of boat building. He has mentioned that he wants to pursue specialization in similar 'project boats'.  It occurs to me that the two of you should be aware of each other, for future reference.  For what its worth, I found his work to be professional, attentive, trustworthy, consistent, and thorough. Happy sailing always! Bill Russell

Note from designer: I recommend you look at this beautiful example of the R392B

Roberts 392 B, Radius Chine Steel sailboat built in England by CT Fox of Fox Boats, March, Cambridgeshire, UK under commission for Mr and Mrs Boast and handed over in June 1992.  

The fit out was completed by the owners and has been completed to the highest standard possible using high quality equipment and materials. This philosophy meant that the fit out took ten years to complete. The fit out was neither skimped on nor rushed. The specification and many hundreds of receipts will demonstrate this. A full owners technical manual is provided. In April 2002 the completed hull was transported to Fox’s Boat Yard, Ipswich. Fox’s Ipswich were contracted to supply and fit; mast, standing rigging, sails and running rigging as a complete package and launch the vessel on completion. Venturer was launched at the end of April 2002 and sailed to her permanent mooring at Shotley Marina on the 2^nd May 2002.

Since her launch 'Venturer' has continued to be improved, notably; spray hood by Quantum sails, roller furling on staysail, cruising chute & snuffer, Bruntons Autoprop and new Lancing Marine Ford diesel.

Subject: Re: SPRAY 28 listing

Well our boat has sold and I need to post this on the Bruce Roberts' sight under our 28ft Spray SOLD!  Thanks.  Pat Muller

Boat is lying in Wisconsin and has only been used in fresh water.  She is currently sitting on a triaxle trailer which will convey with the boat.

The Spray 28 is a wonderful, trailable pocket cruiser.  She has the space and stability of a much larger boat with the ability to go most anywhere.  Thousands of Sprays have been built world wide and their owners love them.  If you are considering a true, go-anywhere, small cruising sailboat you must consider the Spray 28, and “Gypsy” is a fine example.
