Over 30,000 Bruce Roberts designed boats are in service world-wide. You have 250 boat plans & kits to choose from. Photos & letters from owners of hundreds of these boats are shown on this 500 + page web site. Bruce Roberts designed sailboats, power boats & trawlers are used commercially & for private use; Fishing boats, Government Patrol Boats, Licensed world wide charter boats etc. Check through this web site & you will find hundreds of these boats.

 Bruce Roberts boat plans are designed to meet Lloyds, USCG, EU & other Classification Society rules. These rules require extensive stability & other rigorous boat design calculations.

ALL the boat KITS & sail & powerboat designs available as CUTTING FILES meet these commercial rules & specifications. The fact that more Bruce Roberts sail boats & power boats have crossed the major oceans & completed hundreds of circumnavigations; more than any those of any other single designer, means that you can build one of Bruce's designed boats with utmost confidence. Several SPRAY's have completed TWO or more complete circumnavigations !

 BRUCE ROBERTS KITS CONTAIN:
 
We use the design criteria in accordance with Germanischer Lloyd for category 1 (unrestricted sailing area), which is much better than what CE-A requires. 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. If you cut locally we recommend that you use A36 / ABS GRA is the preferred steel quality which is equivalent to the ST37 Grade-A. if above steel not available.
 
All framing, stringers, engine beds, 'T' sole bearers, deck beams, deck stringers, all exterior plating, plus 3 steel bulkheads & stiffeners are included. Windows and doorways are cut out as required.  In the case of radius-chine hulls, the radius plates a rolled to the perfect shape and NO fitting is required. Complete assembly and engineering plans supplied. A building jig is supplied with the kit.  Delivery is often included in the quoted price. All pre-primed profiles belonging to the hull; deck and superstructure are supplied in sufficient quantity and are in factory lengths of 6 M / 20 ft, coated with factory applied Sigma weld MC welding primer.
 
Openings for windows and doors can be cut or only marked as per customer's preference. Bulkheads are supplied complete with stiffeners and are in accordance with classification rules and safety regulations. Cold forming of plate parts is included where this requirement forms part of the design. Basic engine foundations are integrated into the construction.  A Setting up jig with the correct shape of the hull plates that can be used as building jig for the entire hull after reinforcement plus there is a extensive building manual including detailed drawings, parts list and welding instructions.
 
In these days where both the local authorities and the better informed builders themselves, it is important that the construction calculations are in accordance with prevailing classification society so this factor is part of the preparation of any Bruce Roberts kit.
 
ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS
Each kit or set of cutting files comes complete with about 20 sheets of detailed assembly drawings with written instructions and check measurements for assembling each part of the kit. The drawings cover assembling the frames, setting up the building jig (supplied) on to I beams or similar base. These extensive drawings take you right through the welding up process from start to finish.
 
ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
Also are included several sheets of detailed engineering drawings that cover the installation of the main engine(s), "take home engine", generating set, exhaust systems, fuel systems, fuel and water thanks etc.
 
We can supply many additional items such as windows etc but as it takes considerable time to prepare a detailed quotation we prefer to quote the steel kit first and then if you are ready to proceed we can quote all of the other items you may require us to supply with the kit.
