A drawing of the profile of Michel Selig with detail of<br />
the components of the backbone, which is thus more<br />
properly called a construction plan.<br />
He then draws a number of equally spaced vertical<br />
lines on the profile (the"stations") which represent<br />
vertical sections of the hull.<br />
Similarly, he does the same thing horizontally (the<br />
"waterlines") which represent horizontal sections of<br />
the hull.<br />
Three views of Michel Selig: 1.) upper left - the station<br />
profiles, viewed from the stern, are superposed, 2.)<br />
upper right - ditto, but viewed from the bow, 3.) the<br />
waterlines of the starboard half of the boat, viewed<br />
from the bottom, are superposed.<br />
The results remain a two dimensional representation<br />
of the hull. One can combine the stations and
