Construction Sectiions

CONSTRUCTIONS SECTIONS

The Construction Sections are cuts of the hull along its length at the transverse frames.

There are (11) eleven transverse frames in the construction of the Bezier 28. All the frames are measured from the fore point of the hull and are equally spaced between each other. The Bezier 28 is a longintudinal framed boat. This means that the transverse frames are use to support the longintudinal frames. The longintudinal frames support the skin or shell of the boat. With the skin of the hull supported by the longintudinal framing makes it a longintudinal framed boat.
