Metal sailboats are superior
 
To Plastic IMO.

Why you ask.

I will tell you why my friend!

It's stronger
It's Cheaper
It will last longer
It is easier to work with
It is lighter than a plastic boat with the same strength.
You can find a welder in Bum**** egypt.
You can find steel in " " egypt
Coatings are cheaper.


Any Questions? Only related to sailboat construction please!

Yes I do have a question Sir. If I run into the side of your plastic
sailboat, doing approximately 80 mph in my Jet 409 Chevy, what will
the aftermath be?

JG March 31st 05 12:41 AM

I don't know about lighter. A 20' boat made out of metal would be much
heavier than my 20' fiberglass boat.

Spend just a little more time reading, Zach, and a little less
pontificating. He's touting the benefits of steel, not FRP.

I think you're asking for the impossible, Max. Carers who read to
people with 'special needs' like Zak simply don't understand a lot.

Because you don't know any better, and you have the sort of inferiority
comlex that compels you to shout about how great you (and your toys) are.


I will tell you why my friend!

It's stronger


No it isn't. Ever heard of carbon fiber?

It's Cheaper


Especially to recycle.

It will last longer


Except that it rusts away to powder

It is easier to work with


If you have a welding set, a couple years of schooling, and a decade or
more of practice

It is lighter than a plastic boat with the same strength.


Wrong.

You can find a welder in Bum**** egypt.


You can carry a can of WEST epoxy right on board with you

You can find steel in " " egypt


??

Coatings are cheaper.


Wrong again.

I did not shout anything Dougieee. And Ive been on boats for at least
100,000 + more miles that you. I do know better.

Carbon fiber is not fiberglass or plastic.. And your an engineer?



It's Cheaper


Especially to recycle.

Yeah, no one wants anything to do with a plastic scrap boat, they just
take up space in landfills.


It will last longer


Except that it rusts away to powder


Ever hear of paint? If you put this magic stuff(paint) on metal it
repels rust, It's amazing.

VS doing a proper job replacing a rotton hull spot, welding is a
pleasure.

Wrong.


Says you. I know its fact.


You can find a welder in Bum**** egypt.


You can carry a can of WEST epoxy right on board with you


Yeah a can of glue....Bwahahahahah

You can find steel in " " egypt


?? Not going to find west epoxy everywhere Doug.

Coatings are cheaper.


Wrong again.


Says you. A gallon of top quality epoxy paint is always going to be
cheaper than gelcoats.

Repels rust? You mean, the rust can try as hard as it can to throw itself
at the
steel, but it just bounces off? That DOES sound like magic!

rusty redcloud

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
If you have a steel boat
your whole life is rust
