I. HULL CONSTRUCTION
This section will cover the following main points: Framing System Block Erection Plan Method of Construction Detailed description of construction activities

1. FRAMING SYSTEM

The framing system is presented in the table below: Additional frames shall be added in regions whereby large stress concentration is expected. Frame Frame Spacing FROM TO 1m 33 1 m 0

2. ALUMINIUM WEIGHT ESTIMATION

A very first estimation of aluminium weight could be estimated by utilizing the data from existing vessels (of close dimensions) with certain margins being added. HULL CODE HULL 82 MONOHULL 3707 3. BLOCK BREAKDOWN L (m) 41 B (m) 8.3 D (m) 3 3.1 T (m) 1.1 1.6 Hull Weight (kg) 34651 28000-30000 kg

In consideration of yard capacities and to reduce the cost of production, the vessel could be divided into 3 main blocks for an effective construction process. The estimated length and Aluminium weight for all individual blocks are presented in the following table:

Block 1 Block 2 Block 3

Length (m) 18 15 4 37 m

Estimated Weight (tonne) 13 13 4 30 tonne
