Pre cut boat kits contain all
the metal parts required to build a complete sailboat. These parts are computer generated
and NC Plasma cut before they are packed and delivered ready for you to start assembling
and welding into the finished boat. We design and nest the package using our specialized
computer programs The kits are then cut on a computerized plasma-oxygen cutter.
The kits contain all the pre-shot blasted and
primed steel to build the hull, decks and superstructure. All framing, stringers, engine
beds, 'T' sole bearers, deck beams, deck stringers and all exterior plating, plus 3 steel
bulkheads and stiffeners is included. Windows and doorways are cut out as required.
Complete assembly and engineering plans supplied. Delivery is included.
For example, an 12.19 m ( 40' ) yacht would
comprise of around 450 parts! These kits are shipped world-wide, each in individual
containers. We can develop, as kits, most Bruce Roberts hulls, whether displacement,
semi-displacement or planing. These are a great way to get on the water in a boat that you
have fully customized for yourselves.. For a full description on building kits please see our SPRAY KIT ASSEMBLY
pages.
There are over 5,000 Sprays already sailing
world wide plus over 1,000 currently being built from our plans and kits. We
have been willing to listen to every combination of idea's about this
wonderful boat and several layouts have been drawn. Many of these features
are interchangeable between the various versions.
This boat is designed in accordance with Lloyds for
category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which is much better
than the EU and other Classification Societies and the CE-A require.
Complete stability calculations are included in the design package. All
calculations are also cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure
that the design meets world-wide standards and specifications.
In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and
superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are
marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking
lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position.
Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth
edges.
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade
Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma
weld MC welding primer. We use and recommend steel plate that has the
official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B
certificate.
Many of these Sprays have completed complete
circumnavigations some more than once &
usually with crews consisting only of two persons !
