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.

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.

Thats right, fiberglass is a sponge.

Myths About Aluminum Boats

They are noisy! - Not true. In fact, a well built aluminum vessel with
proper soundproofing is often quieter than an equivalent fiberglass
boat.

They are cold and damp! - Not true. Our hulls and decks are fully
insulated and our cabins are as dry and cozy as any boat built of wood
or fiberglass - and much less likely to leak.

It's difficult to install hull fittings! - Not true. To install hull
fittings, simply drill and tap into the hull and use a stainless steel
fastener. In fact, you can work aluminum using many ordinary
woodworking tools.

Aluminum is prone to corrosion, oxidation and electrolysis. - Not true.
Today's marine grade aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion. Some
surface oxidation may occur, but this in no way affects the strength or
integrity of the aluminum. Electrolysis and other potential corrosion
issues can all be avoided through good construction and maintenance

You cannot paint aluminum. - Not true. With proper preparation and the
application of the correct primers and undercoats, aluminum holds paint
very well.
