Bruce Robert International is able to develop any existing design into a steel kit or provide modifications to an existing design to be incorporated into a kit. These metal kits are produced in such a manner that even an experienced builder will save many hours on the preparation work because the plates, frames, longitudinal and stringers and further necessary parts for the hull and superstructure are supplied pre-cut and accurate. No triming is required. All the parts fit perfectly. On radius chine kits, the radius panels are rolled to the correct radius and you will only need to trim the edges after you have installed the rest of the hull plating which, does not need trimming.
All plates have marking lines for positioning of frames, etc.
Maximum plate size is 6 x 2 meter. Metal kits are available in steel or aluminium. By studying the cut out shapes on the plans beforehand, all parts are readily identifiable. Floor webs in place showing lightening holes, notches for sole supports and stringers. This is how it all started.
