1. Repairs to steel is easier and more successful in most cases.

2. The Navy uses impressed current cathodic protection for vessels, can you use that on a sailboat?

3. Excellent video!,
   Very well thought out, scripted and communicated! You have become so much more polished in your presentations since the early days…
   Hats off

4. You keep showing the British Steel, moored in the Dart.
   My wife and I had friends who lived aboard this and we were fortunate enough to spend Dartmouth regatta, while on our honeymoon. 2007 happy days.

5. Look up, the British Steel, what a Tool!

6. When I was younger and building my dream sail boat, and owning a fiberglass boat at that time, a steel design was/ is the only way to go … less redundant activities ( not having to. 1st build the mold, lay up the glass, pulling the mold, AND THAN DISPOSING OF THE MOLD. ). Life, dollars, and a place (space). To build never happened until I. Was way too old to walk a deck safely … hence I’m for all the arguments why steel is a better material for building pleasure boats.

7. Nice too show aluminum boats for steel

8. Hi mate..U being a sparky .. I've always wondered how a boat (and crew) is protected/insulated from lighting strike ?

9. The steel boats rust on the inside as well as the outside, and you can't always see everywhere on the inside.

10. Have you seen or watched Breaking Waves Sailing on YouTube? She's front the St. Mary's area (ONTARIO)

11. I'm down here in Grenada on my 34ft Thomas Colvin Steel schooner Blue Dragon. Crossed the Atlantic twice in her now. Go Steel go anywhere.

12. Who makes the best wishbone cat boat?

13. i'm considering building my boat. For a long time steel was the plan (it is less learning for me since i was kind of metalworker in the days). Steel can give You everything from better strength, trough less weight or great heat dissipation (think tropics). Though steel can't get You all this thing at the same time.

    There is one catch though: the thinner is Your steel element, the harder it is to repair it properly. To get something afloat You can use sheets as thin as a beer can (or even thinner), to be able to weld it, You need it thicker (the thicker, the easier to work with). But at the same time weight increase.

14. I play golf with the owner and founder of a company that does business with Chevron and BP to protect their steel
    His ceramic coating bonds to steel and prevents corrosion permanently.
    Antimicrobial and fire resistant. Dries in 5 minutes

15. Fronius now make battery powered caddy stick welders! Amazing! Stick welders can weld dirty painted steel hull hapily as its leeking, and you will get home to repair it proper! Go the steel!

16. I love George Buhler's designs. While not sailboats, his Diesel Duck series are largely built in steel and he designed a supplemental sail into most of them.

    On another subject, I have a Deko brand stick welder that I carry with me on my work van. It is about the size of a shoebox and it will operate on 120 or 240.

17. My vote is STEEL for many reasons you mentioned ! The ones I’ve been on seem to vibrate less then glass cut better and yes stronger !

18. I was very lucky enough to find a lightly used steel boat with almost no surface rust. Now the alterations begin.

19. Paint coatings are extremely expensive, and there's a potential to jack them even higher or ban effective chemistry. Steel is only effective at cargo ship dimensions. Why do most cargo ships go to the scrappers in 30 years? Plumbing and painting. I donnt want a sheet steel trailer on land and I don't want a steel sailboat. It's a ticking time bomb waiting to get rust cancer.

20. All steel Bruce Roberts 38' cutter.
    1991 performance cruiser in great condition. She is 6: draft and sail wonderful $45k

21. With the new fenomeen of Orcas demolishing glasfiber rudders and smashing sailboat’s steel sound a lot more safe

22. 1:33 not orthothropic but isotropic

23. If you are not the original owner, the problem is the number of hidden interior spaces where corrosion has taken hold.. some of this is very difficult to find.

24. That's a great looking design at minute 4:49-50. Anyone know what it is?

25. Have you looked at steel or aluminum trimerans? Nick a naval architect from DMS marine has pointed out fibreglass is flammable in his episode on commercial ships. 10:00

26. no material is perfect: metal, glass, wood. for me, steel gives peace of mind. yes, must use anodes intelligently. coatings today will last 20 years, no rust. much easier to sand rust and recoat, than to resolve osmosis or core separation on glass; especially when underway. I have never had the need to weld anything for any reason. underway, have struck many objects, including reefs: causing scratches only; glass would be mayday. all decks/hulls will become hot under baking sun in the tropics. but metals conduct heat into the water, so they cool much faster after sunset. chines can provide benefits. true, a new steel yacht is gonna cost you mucho these days. next best for strength is aluminium.

27. I have crossed the Pacific on a 30ft steel boat built in the Neatherlands. The weight added to seaworthiness and I did the 2300mi trip to the Marquesas in 26 days. The 40’ fiberglass boats did it in 20-22 days… At that point not such a big difference, eh? I loved my boat!!!!! It was run onto the rocks full speed in the Panama canal by the Pilot. A dent in the hull, that was it.

28. If amel made a steel amel 50 I'd pre order one instantly 😢

29. I just wanna be a pirate.
