Roberts Spray 28

Canachan is a great example of a Bruce Roberts' Spray 28, completed in 1999 and sailed by the owner/builder ever since. She is in very nice condition and the layout is roomy and comfortable. The current owner is using the boat without the mast fitted, but for sale with the boat is a "Freewing" mast which can be fitted back on without too much trouble.
