KIT ASSEMBLY PHOTOS CLICK HERE From the design table of award winning South African designer Dudley Dix , the Pratique 35 is a robust go anywhere yacht. She has traditional styling with modern hull shape for the best of two worlds. The kit was created by metalboatkits.com, under designer supervision. The kit consists of approximately 300 pre-cut pieces. Including all hull plates, fuel and water tanks, rudder, cabin, cockpit, stringers, frames, chain and propane lockers. ( All steel work that can be cut from plate ) The assembly cradle is supplied as pre-cut plate alignment components, and drawings. The customer supplies the angle irons and tubing that can be purchased locally to you. This saves money on shipping and handling. |

This kit employs the Dutch "frameless fairing" style of construction. The hull plates are assembled in a cradle that can be used to lift the plates into position as well. Once the plates are positioned and tacked , the internals are placed. Then the deck and cabin are dropped on. This is one of the easiest ways to build a boat, and our kit makes it even easier. The cradle part of the kit includes the plate elements of the cradle and drawings. The customers supplies the angles and channels to save costs.
