Abstract

Provided is an apparatus for molding a shell hull made of composite material for a boat having a first mold part and a second mold part, each having a molding surface and adapted to be coupled to jointly define a concave molding cavity that extends longitudinally between a stern end and a bow end. The apparatus has a humidity sensor for detecting humidity at the first and/or second mold parts. A plurality of sensors, arranged in a respective plurality of detection positions on a detection surface extending over at least one of the first mold part and the second mold part, and arranged directly in contact therewith, produce signals representative of respective strains of the detection surface in directions substantially perpendicular to the detection surface.
