The Mould framework

Mould framework

The hull - the shell - of your yacht needs a ribcage.
In the Classical way of building a yacht this consists of ribs and stringers, which remain in your yacht.

The core of a modern yacht can consist of a mould framework, which is only needed for the building phase.

First of all, a frame is built from wooden boards. You can also describe this as the kern of the yacht hull.

Internal keel

Most yachts are built with both: stringers and ribs, for the parts that come under the most strain. These then remain in the hull and give the yacht great stability under extreme pressure.
The mould framework gives the yacht the optimal hull form during the building phase.

Fixing

The internal keel is fixed with clamps to the mould.

Giving shape

The finely aligned rods are fitted closely on one side of the hull.
Each rod is then glued in its exact pre-calculated position with the help of wedges and constraints.

Internal view

Inside the mould you are looking towards the bow. You can clearly discern the different curvatures.
