If you wan't a real boat without frames of any type have a strong
Yacht buildt out of Aluminum. If I could afford a new build this would
be the boat.

No framing what so ever.

number of years ago (maybe Max will remember this) a German couple doing
a Great Cruise, stayed at my former marina for a little while with their
aluminum sailboat. Was very nice all round but the woman said that it was
hard to heat in the cold weather and that they had sweating problems
inside.

The same problems exist with fiberglass. The sweat is absorbed into the
porosity of the glass. The R factor for fiberglass and metal isn't much
different at those thicknesses.


My boat doesn't sweat...it's just dewy....
