strip planking
Involves securing narrow, flexible strips of wood edge-to-edge around temporary forms. The forms are cut as a series of cross-sections and set up along a “strong back” or other solid base.
- Strips stapled onto a number of chipboard forms.
- Structures is sanded.
- Structures is fibreglassed.
- Forms are removed and the hull is attached.
Steel hull
To build a boat, the type of hull used is of vital importance; for example, going to sea requires a hull which is more stable than a hull used for sailing rivers (which can be more flat/round).
- Smooth curve hull – Rounded hull (no chines or corners).
- Chined and hard chined hulls.
- Flat-bottomed hull.
- Planing hulls.
Computerized cutting
It has almost become completely inconceivable to build a vessel of any size by manual lofting and cutting. For large ships, it just is not done – it’s too time consuming and therefore too expensive.
- Hull and superstructure made by computer modeling.
- Plans designed on software.
- Frames and bulkheads are defined.
- The digital machine cuts the frames.
Motorization
Vuot Song has a team specifically dedicated to the mechanical equipments and motorization. As a result Moteur Baudouin choose Vuot Song as official representative in Vietnam/Cambodia.
- Knowledge.
- Moteur Baudouin representative.
- Dedicated mechanical team.
- Experiences.
Office design
Vuot Song also develops its own plans and designs through the design office made up of several naval architects working on AutoCAD, Autoship, CatiaV5, MaxSurf, Hydromax, ShipConstructor and 3D Max
- 3D imaging.
- Structures and superstructures.
- Architectural and naval plans.
- Registration and classification.
Epoxy Plywood
Epoxy plywood, in which individual veneers are laid up to create a hull that is in effect a single sheet of plywood produce one of the strongest, low maintenance, and most durable boat.
- Epoxy saturated cold molded plywood.
- Low maintenance.
- Ease construction.
- Durable boat.
