Description     OWNER'S INSTRUCTIONS... "SELL NOW"
This Bruce Roberts 40' steel cruising yacht is the popular version of the Joshua Slocum's "Spray". She was built in New Zealand as a gaff rigged cutter, and equipped with the cruising 'essentials' for comfortable passage making.

         This strong and sturdy vessel was equipped for a voyage to the Antarctic, which testifies to its structural integrity and exceptional seaworthiness.

        The auxiliary engine is a reliable 69 hp Perkins marine diesel in a spacious engine room with full headroom. There's a NEW 9000 btu 240v Air-conditioner that has just been fitted, in the saloon, which can be run off shore power or gen-set.

        Work commitments take the owners back to live ashore, so this well maintained 'blue-water' vessel is offered for sale at an attractive asking price of AUD$85,000, (which in Sept '09 is equal to around US$70,000. or Euro50,000.
