CONSTRUCTION PLAN PROFILE

Construction Plan & Profile

There is a wealth of information on this drawing. Both the plan and profile show the entire structure of the hull.

It should be noted that the plan view is divided into two sections. The upper half shows the deck framing structure, while the lower half shows the hull framing structure.

This drawing shows the (11) eleven transverse frames. Notice that the transverse frames are measured from the fore point of the hull. Each frame will also be shown in section on the "Construction Section" and the "Enhanced Construction" drawings.
