Construction of the BLUE PEARL |
|---|
| Even though the completion of the Blue Pearl came to an end, we are still interested in construction and investigation. In fact, this interest induced us to share some of our ideas and solutions. The future will show whether they will stand the test. |

| Dix 43 Pilot Blue Pearl in its carcass. Round-framed hulls are built headfirst. Striking are the strongly dimensioned stringers and frames, which are covered with aluminium sheets, in the deck range with 4.5 mm and at the hull with 6 and 8 mm. The keel is made with 9 and 12 mm aluminium sheets and the floor of the keel with 22 mm. As soon as stringers and frames are welded with the skin (shell), the hull will be righted (turned 180°). |
