Hover a measurement to read its value

The Bruce Roberts Spray 42 is a quintessential heavydisplacement cruiser, standing as a modern interpretation of Captain Joshua Slocum’s legendary Spray. Designed by the prolific Australian designer Bruce RobertsGoodson, the Spray 42 is engineered for bluewater autonomy rather than regatta speed. Unlike production boats from largescale manufacturers, the Spray 42 was primarily released as a set of plans or a precut kit, meaning the vessels found on the market today are often custombuilt in steel, aluminum, woodepoxy, or fiberglass. According to the Bruce Roberts Official Website, the 42foot variant is part of a lineage that prioritizes massive internal volume and ultimate stability for longterm liveaboard voyaging. Its hull form is characterized by a long, deep keel, a highvolume bow, and a variety of stern configurations, including the traditional "Slocum" transom or a more modern sugarscoop for easier water access.
