Constructing A Chined Hull
Construction of a chined hull is subject to many different parameters than a round hull, both positive and negative:
- The sharp angles do not favor bent wooden frames
- The wide, flat panels may be cross-planked, where the planks may run perpendicular to the keel rather than parallel to it
- Planks may be of any width, not just a width small enough to approximate the curve of the hull, and most planks can be cut with square edges
- Flat sections do not provide the stiffness of a rounded section

Famous quotes containing the word constructing:
“The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
