Bruce Roberts Spray 42
'Fireomd' - 12.5m Steel Roberts Spray
Price: $56,000 ONO | Owner Keen to Sell
Fireomd is a legendary Australian Shipping Registered blue-water cruiser with a proven pedigree, including a full circumnavigation of Australia and a recent successful Bass Strait crossing. Built for strength and stability, this steel-hulled voyager offers the massive internal volume and sea-keeping tracks that the Roberts Spray design is famous for.
The Opportunity
Now priced at $56,000 ONO, this vessel represents unbeatable value for a buyer prepared to finish the final stages of a refit. The "heavy lifting" is done--the hull is solid, the Perkins 4.270 diesel is reliable, and a comprehensive electronics suite is already installed.
The owner is highly motivated to sell and has priced the boat to reflect the remaining tasks to get her fully ready for multi-day (or week) crusing:
Bathroom: New Vanity and shower base are on board; plumbing and finishing required.
Sails: Professionally serviced and re-stitched; simply need re-hanging.
Electrics: Systems are functional but would benefit from a modern rewire of the wheelhouse. (Owner happy to assist with this).
Maintenance: Due for antifouling.
Equipped for serious cruising with a bow thruster, Autopilot, Radar, and AIS, Fireomd is a capable short-handed sailer. With 6 berths, 240V refrigeration, solar power, and a 25L hot water system, she is an ideal live-aboard candidate.
The sale includes a Sirocco 2.4m RIB with a 5hp Parsun outboard and trailer.
Location: Currently in Tasmania. Mooring options in Squeaking Point or Devonport are available by negotiation.
Owner is keen to move the vessel--all reasonable offers considered.
Happy to assist in anyway getting you setup and sailing. Come and have a look at her.
Also happy to assist with delivery.
