If you wan't a real boat without frames of any type have a strong Yacht buildt out of Aluminum.

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. 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. My boat doesn't sweat...it's just dewy.... |
