1. Wouldn't it be great of Kraken yachts made lifting centerboard/keel yachts? 🤔

2. One thing, you don't know much about steel. Nor maintenance nor performance.

3. Hemp.

4. Perhaps a bit off topic, but I've got got to ask why you fellows across the pond find it impossible to properly pronounce Aluminum?? 😉

5. I have had a bare aluminum boat , there not as great as people think . They are a lot of work to keep paint on them and they look like concrete when they oxidize. I prefer GRP if done right . Totally agree with your opinions .

6. literally bullet proof…….what a joke. lets see it hold up to any reasonable rifle round, shoot a test section of your hull material. I think we all knew the answer due to the material kraken are built from. The real proof is what are ice breakers built from, i am not aware of any fiberglass icebreakers. I am not aware of any ice rated fiberglass hulls. just remember this is the guy who tries to sell boats by telling people their keel will fall off unless you buy one of his boats. he is correct about maintaining metal boats and the corrosion issue is a problem.

7. How about carbon fiber / epoxy instead of GRP? “Well laid up” of course 🙂

8. For cruising in high latitudes only need to look at what the commercial yacht companies are using…. bare Aluminium is the preferred material. It’s ductile and maintenance free… and for non commercial high latitude sailing many, if not the majority, of the boats encountered are Boréal, KM Bestevaer and Garcia which are all Aluminium builders
