ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacture of an integral discformed body from several elongated panels which along one longitudinal edge has a substantially U-formed groove and along its opposite edge a tongue element which is at least partly substantially narrower than the groove thereby providing a clamp groove with the tongue introduced in the groove in which one or more clamp blocks can be introduced to press the tongue sideways and preferably also to the bottom of the groove. A thermo setting layer of glue is provided between the groove and the tongue. Clamp blocks clamp the groove and tongue elements together while the glue layer sets. The clamp blocks can be formed as G-clips embracing and engaging the groove-tongue-joint. The invention also relates to a body or hull structure especially for water and air vehicles made in accordance with the method by several elongated panels providing a closed hull body. The hull panels are formed according to the intended hull profile and are located at an angle of 90-180° in a polary plane in which the nomal hull moving direction is 90°. At the inner side of the hull body the groove and tounge elements provides a sparerib like pattern of projecting and reinforcing material portions.
