best way to patch a thru hull?
 

And keep a Lincoln welder in the hold because
with a steel hull you're gonna need it frequently
to patch all the rust holes that develop in every
steel hull over the normal course of time.

for sailing yacht hulls.

I had an illegal head on my Cal 20.

No wonder San Fran bay is so dirty.

Is there another method that's as or more effective?


Yes, cut a patch or 1/4 inch steel. Weld it flush with the hole using
a lincon welding machine. It will be strong as steel

That's true. I've never seen a picture of your "girlfriend,"
probably because the only such person that exists is
either the one who's URL I posted or the two boys in
the car.

My 40-year-old Cal 20 could beat your Hunter crap
any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Why? It's
not the boat Horass, it's the sailor.

Now that is one ugly boat.

That shows you have no taste. Go back to your forty-year-old Cal 20.

Almost as bad as your "girlfriend."

You've never seen a pic of my beautiful, sexy, hot, girlfriend.
Besides, you're into boys, and old beat-up boats.

You could possibly use it on the steel plate in his head?

I have news for you Captn.
If you paint steel it will not rust.

To plug a thru hull on a steel boat cost about 35 dollars if you have
to hire a welder. Takes about 1/2 an hour if you have the right tools.
If you have your own welder it will cost you 2.00 in rods and
materials. Then your back in the water in 1/2 a day verses a week on
an inferior plastic or fiberglass boat sitting in a shipyard.

Plus I can get steel anywhere in the world.

Steel - cheaper to maintain, stronger, and better all the way around.
No If's and or but's about it.

Now, that's funny! Tell that to all those body shops
who fix rusted out steel on cars. Tell that all the
shipyards that sandblast old rusted paint off and
apply new paint only to have to do it over again in
a year or two. Tell that to the bridge crews on
the Golden Gate bridge whose never ending job
is taking care of rust on painted steel. Boy, are
you a dreamer, Joe!

To plug a hole in a GPR boat all it takes is a little grinding and
mixing of resin then wetting out some cloth then applying it. It
all takes 0nly a few hours. All materials can be carried aboard
and they aren't very heavy.No expensive and heavy welder or
access to 220 volt electricity is ever needed. It can all be done
on a remote sandbar somewhere. Try that with steel boat and
see how long it takes to weld up a hole in the hull.

Why not carry a couple sheets of steel along like I do with
glass and resin? Then some rods and a welder along with
a big generator to run it?

Like I said, steel is an inferior material with which to build
a sailing yacht.

GRP vessel that's easy to fix with materials on
hand. Also, a GRP vessel that's safer than a
rust-prone "Red Cloud"!
