yacht description
J'ai trouvé plusieurs termes pour varangues et renforts, mais je n'ai aucune idée de celui qui s'applique ici! Ces termes se réfèrent à la structure de la coque d'un yacht (l'Altura 840)

longerons and rib strengthening covered with 3 fabric layers
Maybe longerons could be considered as strengthening elements too?
My formulation is deliberately ambiguous!

: Hi Miranda, this is one for the notebook, after a heavy googling session I've come to the conclusion that we're talking about "stringers" and "floor frames", whaddya think?

I'd be happier with that than "longerons and rib strengthening". Sounds much better - that'll go into my glossary :-)

"stringer" seems to be a good translation for "longeron"; "varangues" are traditionally "floor timbers" perpendicular to the keel but in this instance they could well be described as "ribs"
need a picture to be sure

Spurred into action by the L word, I had a more serious look into this and I'm pretty sure that we're talking about "stringers" and "floor frames":

In a nautical context, Routledge Technical dictionary gives "cabin sole reinforcement" and "floor" for "varangue" and "stringer" for "longeron"

: I don't want to appear churlish, but you seem to have avoided translating "longerons et varangues de renfort", Graham.

My marine dictionary gives "longerons" for longerons (but I think the term is more usually found in aircraft structures). "Varangues" is often translated "timbers" (but your boat is made of plastic ...).
I wonder if we might borrow from the aircraft industry and say "longerons and cross ribs" ??
