Boat descriptionS/Y Joshua, Spray 40 is a replica of Joshuas Slocums Spray. Built by Goodchild Marine Services in Great Yarmouth, England year 2000. She was taken back to the warf to have an 6 foot aft deck added and that was finished 2003. She is very steady at any sea compared to anything. She also goes very shallow, only 1.34 m, does not really have a normal keel, moore like a keel super strong and wide keel plank that protects her bottom. One can actually beach her and she will not lean over much. She is a Ketch and in the right balance she does 10 knots easily, heading high into the wind she will drift some, but that's why we don't sail much like that.. A strong well maintained Perkins engine with a huge adjustable Maxprop gives her ability to always be on time for appointments. We, she and me has just returned to Spain after one year of working on her in Marina Smir Morocco. So she now looks and is a much better boat than when I bought her 2013.
