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

Hi Bruce and
associates, I am proud to announce on Aug 2 ,1998 at Roundout
Yacht club, on the Roundout river a tributary of the Hudson river in New York State. A
Spray 38 steel was Launch at 2:00 in the afternoon christened the Royal Ark II ,it was
christened with Boons Farm wine due to the fact my wife said we have no more money left
for champagne.
I would like to say thank you for all the help your organization have
given me over the years by the way it was 12 all together. I will be sending you a series
of pictures of it construction. I had called you last year but had to postpone the
launching do to a mast problem. I will chronicle the building and send it to you. With all
my heart I would like to thank you again. Timothy P Baker |

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. |
