Remarks:
This one-owner steel Roberts Spray 28 has been stretched to approximately 34ft overall (31ft over deck) by the hull-builder, Roger Apperly of Watercraft, after consultation with the designer. She was launched in 1988, and, after the first season, taken to Spain via the French canals. Her owner states that she performed admirably, and has continued to do on subsequent trips in the western Mediterranean. She is currently lying afloat at Ampuriabrava (Girona) on the bay of Roses in north eastern Spain, within easy reach of several budget airline served cities. Sensible offers will be considered.
