Geometry of the Venetian Gondola

LINK

by fosco lucarelli

Developed in the mid-19th-century, the sections of the boat are asymmetric, in order to balance the weigth of the gondoliere, who stands one side of the boat.
Referred to the traditional Tramontin shipyard, the geometry of the boat is curved in plan, according to the weight of the oar.
