Solid Glass Hulls
Cruising sailboat with a solid glass hull, that are without any
core material or framing, are either very ____ or very _____. 1 pt Bart, what cruising boat has no core material OR framing? Quite a few boats are cored, some solid below the waterline with stringers like older C&Cs. The Beneteau boats use a well proven grid system. The C&Cs and boats like my 35s5 or a new 36.7 are very stiff. I can't think of any cruising boat that is simply solid glass with no reinforcements of any kind. Which boat has this? BTW, did you ever research the B&G rig used by Hunter? RB 35s5 NY |

B&G makes pickles, Rob. Ooops! Got mixed up with B&G instruments....meant to say B&R rig. Ya know, from the guy who made that thing for cleaning windows....Windex! It keeps scratching my windshield. :-) RB 35s5 NY |

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 |

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. |

Their is no torsional rigidity in hull w/o frames. They will self destruct quickly. |

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. |

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. |

Many, in fact I would suspect most, do not have core in the hull area, with the core being in the cabin trunk area, foredeck and walkways, however I have never heard of one without framing, either a structural grid, longitudinal stringers, or T-bulkhead supports or some combination of all of them. But, here goes Flexible Split Frank |
