Mechanical Top Bracing
The forces and deections for calculating the
transverse top bracing’s connection to the hull
structure are:
Force per bracing ....................................... ± 28 kN
Minimum horizontal rigidity at the link’s
points of attachment to the hull ............. 20 MN/m
Tightening torque at hull side ......................20 Nm
Tightening torque at engine side ............... 470 Nm
a = 425
c = 2,25
d = 2,975
e = 3,825
f = 4,675
g = 5,525
h = 6,375
k = 7,225

*) U: In case of all top bracings are attached at
point P, the minimum attaching point ‘R’ could
be reduced to ‘U’.
