What is Torsional Rigidity?
– There is a good reason why a high performance sports car is able to handle a hairpin turn with more speed and stability than a minivan. This is a simple example of torsional rigidity, and the same rules of physics apply to aluminum boats. When shopping for a boat that should last the rest of your life, structure and beam width are of the utmost importance. Using the flex elimination methods, Box Girder Construction and Grid Bracing, Design Concepts boats are crafted with such outstanding torsional rigidity that they are virtually indestructible. We are often accused of “over” engineering our boats, but we don’t mind the name-calling.
