And of course with a solid glass hull you can't have a head below decks.



The reason?





Wait for it...











People in glass sailboats shouldn't stow thrones.



Sorry.

If you drill a thru hull it's not solid anymore?

Junk or Junk???

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.

Then the bulkheads and deck act as frames. Their is no torsional rigidity in
hull w/o frames. They will self destruct quickly.

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.

Sounds like insulation problems. On Redcloud we have no problem
heating the boat, use one little 4"X6" ceramic heater all winter. We
have 2" of insulation with 2 vapor barriers and 2 radiant barriers.

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.
