Not actually Flat Water Metal Craft Research Stuff like our Friend Pricer at Flatwater MetalCraft But they do have a lot of great information as I linked to below that is of great value no matter how big or small the craft is.
On Metal Boats
Metal Boats for Blue Water - Why choose metal for a boat's structure?
Any discussion of metal boats inevitably encounters the question of whether a boat should be aluminum or steel. Not often realized is that there are other metals that may be effectively used. "Metal Boats for Blue Water" is intended to provide an overview of the possibilities, and to discuss why one might choose metal for a boat's structure.
Aluminum for Boats - Is there good reason to consider aluminum over other hull materials?
This article first appeared in the September 1997 issue of Cruising World magazine. It includes several good images showing different hull forms suited to metal construction, the relative advantages of each, and what factors one should have in mind when considering the use of aluminum as a hull construction material.
Aluminum vs. Steel - A comparison of their relative strengths, and the advantages of each...
The choice of hull materials is the most fundamental of choices when considering a new vessel design, or even when considering the purchase of an existing boat. If you intend to make use of metal as a hull material this article will be of some value in that choice. It will shed some light on the various ways to compare steel versus aluminum for a boat's structure.
Steel Yachts - Some people claim that steel is too heavy for use as a yacht building material. Is there any truth in that claim...? |
