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. http://www.strongyachts.com/images/d...endering_3.jpg No framing what so ever. Joe Then the bulkheads and deck act as frames. Their is no torsional rigidity in hull w/o frames. They will self destruct quickly. |

Joe 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. Joe |

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