True Round
Metal Boat Building
(Bezier Design and Construction)


The development of 'Bezier Chine Design and Construction' is a result of my career in Architectural Metal Fabrication, CNC Programming, Sheetmetal pattern Development, and my studies at the 'Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology.

The metal True Round boat Building method that I am about to introduce, 'Bezier Chine Design and Construction', was developed entirely by the author.  It is a design  is a high-tech computer design method that blends well with the proven time-honored sheet-metal fabrication layout method know as Approximate Development.

All the components of the hull and deck structure are pre-engineered the entire hull structure, including the shell plating  are predefined to fit seamlessly together. 

There are No Artistic, Vague, or Obscure  True Round metal boat building boat building methods addressed here. 

Only time honored metal  fabrication methods used every day in the metal fabrication industry will be addressed.

Approximate Development



- The Build -

The build used to illustrate 'Bezier Chine Design and Construction' is a small, curvy, classic tumblehome design. If this curvy aluminum fabricated boat can be built using Bezier Chine Design and Construction, Approximate Development Method, then any other true round hull shape would certainly be a breeze.

'Bezier Design and Construction'

I am making available full building plans, which includes all the Arhitectural drawings and full-size patterns in PDF file formate by way of a link directly to your computer.

Available Designs

You do not have to build the boat, but you sure can explore something new out there. Think outside of the box, you have to see this concept on True Round metal boat building.
