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 |

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 |

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. |

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. |
