1992 Bruce Roberts Spray 28 ‘Sea Spray’
A well-established and capable cutter-rigged motorsailer with an interesting history, low engine hours and proven coastal and cross-Channel cruising experience.
Built in 1992 and fitted with a Perkins 29hp inboard diesel in 1995, Sea Spray was launched in 2000 following a fit out by her first owner, who enjoyed extended cruising and cross-Channel passages. Following a period of limited use by her second owner, including several years in storage, the boat has benefited from relatively low engine hours and usage.
The current owner has enjoyed Sea Spray for the past 10 years, cruising extensively along the south and east coasts between Lowestoft and Lymington, as well as spending a period living aboard.
The Bruce Sports Spray 28 is a comfortable, stable and reassuring family cruiser, with the cutter rig providing a versatile and easily managed sail plan. Her proven cruising history and practical layout make her equally suited to coastal adventures, longer passages or extended stays aboard.
Sea Spray offers an appealing opportunity for anyone looking for an affordable, traditional cruising yacht with genuine character and a proven track record afloat.
