Abstract
Method for building boats comprising a plurality of panels (11, 12) attached at the bottom and at the side to a hull (13) and at the top to a deck (14) suitable for defining a plurality of watertight compartments in the underdeck area, the method comprising the steps of attaching together the panels (11, 12) according to predetermined angles through fitting elements (20, 20′, 20″) of the type provided with at least two pathways for receiving the panels (11, 12), mutually arranged according to predetermined angles, and a pathway for receiving adhesive from outside and for distributing it in the pathways for receiving the panels (11, 12), anchoring the panels (11, 12) to the deck (14) and to the sides (13′) of the hull (13).

Method for building boats comprising a plurality of panels (11, 12) having a thickness, said panels (11,12) being attached to a hull (13) at a base (40) on a bottom (13″) of said hull (13), at sides (13′) of said hull (13) and to a deck (14) at a top of said hull (13) said plurality of panels (11,12) being suitable for defining a plurality of watertight compartments in an underdeck area, said panels (11, 12) being sandwiched and pre-laminated with films of fiberglass material;
- said hull (13) and deck (14) being made from fiberglass material, said method comprising the, following steps:
- a) attaching together said panels (11, 12) according to predetermined angles through fitting elements (20, 20′, 20″) having pathways for receiving said panels (11, 12), mutually arranged according to predetermined angles, and a pathway for receiving adhesive from outside and distributing it in said pathways for receiving said panels (11, 12);
- b) coupling said panels (11, 12) with the base (40) on the bottom (13″) of the hull (13);
- c) anchoring said panels (11, 12) to the deck (14) and to the sides (13′) of the hull (13);
- said step of attaching together said panels (11, 12) according to predetermined angles through fitting elements (20, 20′, 20″) comprising the following substeps:
- d) laterally coupling said panels (11, 12) with said pathways for receiving said fitting elements (20, 20′, 20″);
- e) introducing adhesive under pressure into said pathway for receiving adhesive of said fitting elements (20, 20′, 20″) for fixing said panels (11, 12) in said at least two receiving pathways wherein said step of anchoring said panels (11, 12) to the deck (14) and to the sides (13′) of the hull (13) comprises the sub-step of welding together said panels (11, 12), said hull (13) and said deck (14) with a resin and strips of fiberglass (50) and including a step of fixing a mask (51) to said panels (11,12) with through bolts (55) passing through holes (54) of said panels (11,12), in a position that defines a welding area (56) between said mask (51) and said hull (13) and said deck (14).
