A method and apparatus for molding the hulls of vessels comprises a plurality of individual starboard base panels, starboard side panels, port base panels and port side panels, interconnected in a number of respective first panel groups and second panel groups, which groups are then connected side-by-side along the length of the vessel hull to be formed. The first panel groups are longitudinally spaced from one another and carried by adjustable vertical supports, whereas the second panel groups are removably mounted in between adjacent first panel groups to form a continuous negative mold surface against which the vessel hull can be constructed. After the hull has been formed, the second panel groups are removed while the first panel groups remain in place, a number of trolley devices are positioned beneath the hull in the spaces vacated by the second panel groups, and then the vertical supports are operated to lower the hull onto the trolley devices at which time the first panel groups can be disassembled thus allowing the hull to be transported on the trolley devices. |
