The Bruce Roberts Spray 38 represents a modern adaptation of perhaps the most celebrated cruising vessel in maritime history: the Spray, used by Joshua Slocum for the first solo circumnavigation of the globe. Designer Bruce Roberts-Goodson refined the original 19th-century lines to create a vessel optimized for contemporary construction methods and ocean voyaging. According to the designer's specifications at Bruce Roberts Custom Yachts, the Spray 38 is typically constructed in multi-chine or round-bilge steel, though plans also support aluminum, fiberglass (C-Flex), and wood-epoxy strip planking. With a beam of 13 feet and a displacement exceeding 29,000 lbs, the Spray 38 is a heavy-displacement cruiser designed for volume, stability, and the ultimate "go-anywhere" capability.
