Pros and Cons of Steel Sailboats

What is better, a Steel or a Fiberglass sailboat? This is a common question that does not have an easy answer. Both Steel and fiber have their advantages and disadvantages and depend mainly on the size and use that we will give to our boat.

Pros and cons of Steel boats versus fiberglass boats (Glass Reinforced Plastic or GRP):

Steel sailboat hulls are much stronger than fiber or GRP boats. In general, Steel allows stronger structures to be equal in weight. A Steel boat is much more robust, and its structure is more rigid, so a Steel boat will better withstand bumps and rubs. In the event of an impact, the Steel bends while a fiber boat breaks, this as long as it is not a very violent or large blow. Steel has a high ductility or ability to withstand permanent deformations without breakage, and in this way, a Steel boat can be stranded on a beach, resisting the chafing of these abuses.

Steel hulls, if the right alloy is used, resist saltwater corrosion better than steel boats and do not require any special paint. They also suffer from galvanic or electrolytic corrosion that can be avoided with a well-insulated electrical installation and placing sacrificial anodes. Fiber boats do not suffer the effects of corrosion, although they can be affected by the phenomenon of osmosis and suffer from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Steel is a lighter material than fiber, this makes the construction of a Steel sailboat a lighter vessel. Therefore it will be faster and will need less power/wind to move the same distance as a fiber boat, which also means a lower consumption boat.

Manageability

Fiber boats being heavier are also more stable and solid at high speeds, and when the state of the sea begins to get choppy and complicated. A Steel boat at high speeds can feel more nervous and rough with a choppy sea.

Steel boats are louder than fiber boats, especially at high speeds and with bad seas. It is is a better transmitter of temperature, and therefore and if it is not well insulated in its construction with a thick layer of polyurethane or other insulators, it will be hotter in hot and cold places in the winter. Steel boats also suffer from condensation problems more than fiber boats. Therefore a fiber boat can be somewhat more comfortable than a Steel boat.

• Maintenance

Steel boats because of corrosion require greater maintenance, a problem to be monitored are the galvanic pairs of material, a corrosion effect that occurs when pieces of different metals are put together. We must be careful with the quality of any part or screw we use as it could cause us a serious problem. We must also clean the boat thoroughly with fresh water after each use.

Fiber boats do not have rivets, welds, or corrosion to worry about, although possible osmosis problems must be monitored every year, which, if not treated in time, can cause serious problems. However, osmosis problems with the new resins can be. They have palliated a lot with respect to helmets of 20 or 30 years ago. The anti-fouling that is a painting that is given to the live work of the boats to prevent different types of algae, barnacles, and snails from being embedded in the hull, is much more expensive for Steel boats than for boat fiber.

Small dents in a Steel boat are easy to repair, but when the damage is in large areas of the hull, repairs are more difficult and expensive than in fiber boats. Welding in Steel is a very specialized and complicated job, finding professionals trained to repair fiber is easier and cheaper. However, a large and partial repair in a fiber hull does not guarantee the original strength since the structural tension will no longer be the same at all points.

Fiberglass boats have a more beautiful, polished, and shiny finish. The surface finish of the Steel boats leaves the marks of the interior reinforcements marked. For these boats to look good, it is necessary to paint them with special and very thick paints. They are actually covered with putty to hide the inevitable buns and construction defects. This layer of putty must be polished by hand so that it is finished with a good finish and should be done in a controlled environment with dust extraction. It is definitely a complicated process, very expensive, and that greatly increases the price of this type of boats.

It is true that the GRP burns faster and easier, so in the event of a fire, a Steel boat will always be safer. Fiber or GRP boats are built with petroleum products and therefore are combustible. Also, before an impact with a rock, it is easier to make a waterway in a fiber boat than in a Steel one.

Residual Value

The wear and tear of fiberglass boats are greater over the years, exposure to sunlight and osmosis do not affect Steel boats. They also better resist the encrustation of seaweed and marine crustaceans. The greater rigidity and structural strength also make Steel ships stand up better over the years, and for all this, they depreciate less than fiber boats.

Fiber boats allow serial construction from a first mold or design, this leads to faster manufacturing and lower construction costs. For this and as we have explained before, Steel ships are generally much more expensive than GRP ships.

Pros and Cons of Steel Sailboats – Summary

In general, Steel allows for stronger structures, but it is much more expensive to build than in GRP. For small boats, which is the case of recreational boating, in which there is no need for large structural resistance, the GRP is undoubtedly a good choice. As the ship grows in size, the thing gets complicated, since the GRP is not able to give the required resistance to the ship without an already significant weight gain.

9m Steel Catamaran; thoughts?

Discussion in ' Boat Design ' started by rustybarge , May 20, 2016 .

rustybarge Cheetah 25' Powercat.

Hi All, Can steel make a good materials choice for a small 30' Cat for home building, , and what plus/minus points does 3mm plating pose? http://www.bodenboatplans.com/popup_image.php?pID=23&image=0 http://www.bodenboatplans.com/popup_image.php?pID=23&image=1 BB260 "Steel Catamaran 9 Metre" $595.00 Length 9.0 m Displacement 6500-7500 kg Material Steel Hull Draft 0.85 m LWL 7.9 m Hull Weight 4500 kg steel Beam 3.8 m Max Speed 12 kn Motor capacity 2 x 60 hp Fuel Type Diesel Fuel Capacity 700 litres 100mm x 50 x 3mm cross beams folded plate Fabricated frames 3mm flanged plate. 30 x 3 mm stringers. 2.5 mm superstructure . . A 9 metre steel power catamaran for long distance economical cruising. The alternative way of spacious live a board cruising under power. Also available in aluminium construction and a 4 stroke outboard version in steel or aluminium. An exceptional design. There is nothing else like this seagoing cat on the internet Steel, or steel extended version , also aluminium construction with extended cabin and flybridge Single chine catamaran Hull tunnel to waterline is 300mm loaded and 370mm light Propeller dia 400mm. Fresh water 200 litres. Sewage tank 60 litres. Intended for living aboard for extended periods in the Med. where provisions are available on a weekly basis. This craft was designed so that all nominated fitting out items including tanks etc. were available from the Vertus catalogue, which is readily available world wide. Accommodation is two double berths forward, galley and dinette in wheelhouse saloon. The cockpit is relatively large and is ideal for relaxing outdoors. The shower/toilet space is unusual in that the toiler is located at a lower level on one side and the shower on the starboard side. There is internal entry to each of the machinery spaces with larger maintenance hatched in the cockpit. Sub division with bulkheads make this a very safe boat. The engines shown in the plan are 60hp Dutz as shown in the Vertus catalogue At first we thought that a 9 metre steel catamaran would not be practical. A preliminary design established that providing it was built in 3mm plate,with fabricated frames and tunnel beams,a satisfactory design was possible. The hulls are deep to carry the additional weight and the craft is designed to run at displacement speed with initial estimates indicating a top speed of 14 knots and a very economical cruising speed of 10 knots. Particular attention has been given to the machinery installation with the hull aft designed to accommodate the propellers, reduce draught and enable the catamaran to sit on the bottom. The original craft was designed in 2002 for use cruising the Greek islands. The advantage of steel is that the craft can be built in the open and shot blasted and epoxy painted on completion of the steel fabrication. Click to expand...

Let's see.... The design displacement is roughly four times what a 30' cat should weigh, and the speed is pretty marginal. Setting aside the difficulty in welding steel this thin, you would be far better buying a 30' fiberglass sailing catamaran and adding bigger engines. It would be pretty inefficient compared to a designed power cat, but still far better than this.... Thing.

Actually no difficulty welding this steel thickness with a wire feed machine. Stick welding would be difficult for me, but I am no professional welder. With a quality MIG machine even I could weld very well for a thin steel hull. Cutting the steel with an abrasive wheel is also easy, with virtually no distortion. Steel weight for 3mm thickness is about the same as 35mm plywood, whereas in plywood you could use 20mm thickness. So the hull plating in steel is considerably heavier than with plywood, but most of us know that already. Steel hulls, with a good coating system, can hold up very well, and if that is your preference, then proceed to get what you want.

I doubt if you will get 14 knots with twin 60hp on a 7.5T catamaran. Has someone achieved that speed with one? I recall you have posted before about the powercat you were building. So I am pretty sure you know my Skoota 28, which is, as Stumble says, nearly a quarter the weight of the steel boat. The hulls are 6mm, the decks 9 and 12mm. Yet has proven to be a successful live aboard cruiser. My Skoota 32 is currently being built and will be under 3T in the water If you think that a steel boat will be cheaper remember to add in the cost of bigger engines and the running costs. I suspect the bridgedeck will slam as heavy boats need higher clearance The 9m Catalac doesn't weigh 7T! Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com

rustybarge said: ↑ My project is to home build a small coastal cruising cat on a small budget. The advantage of steel is easy welding; alloy needs an experienced expert . The materials for a 30' plywood cat come to about $20k using good quality marine ply. Here in Europe steel is at an all time low of £300/ton because of Chinese dumping and oversupply from European mills. I estimate £2k would cover the material costs in steel. Click to expand...

waikikin said: ↑ Rustybarge, Steel wins as a low cost start to fabricate, the other materials soon catch up when you factor in abrasive blasting and paint system....welding consumables/gas/ abrasive discs are a minor add on but add up, then you need to build the interior which generally means lining the habitable areas which in effect is building a thin ply/laminate boat inside much of the steel one. It would be one tough little cat, one was for give away incomplete in Wollongong a few years back. At the other end of the project you would have a tough, comfy, slow piece of paradise..... on resale which you may not care about could be very low. Cecil E was a respected designer of commercial craft and some pleasure craft. If he was designing today in the market available that boat might be very different than presented. I'd never say don't build it but keep your eyes wide open at the big pic. Al the best from Jeff. Click to expand...

SamSam said: ↑ It's in your moniker rustybarge...rust. In thin steel, a corrosive pit is halfway through the skin. The worst is from the inside out, from condensation. I imagine creating and maintaining a protective coating in all the nooks and crannies inside those narrow, deep hulls would be a chore. Click to expand...

rustybarge said: ↑ This problem had occurred to me, especially if there are parts of the frames with doublers . how do you stop corrosion once its got into two thin steel plates spot welded together? I suppose after good layer of two pack paint, some sort of wax treatment like waxoil could be injected into overlapping sections of the steel work. But is plywood any better if it gets wet and starts rotting, and how would you dry it out in narrow hard to get at sections? Click to expand...

what about alloy glued instead of welding. i read somewhere that alloy boats can be glued together just like plywood. i think the bond is also a lot stronger than glued ply bonds. even a combination of epoxy and rivets like an aircraft.

waikikin said: ↑ Well you need to seal weld the perimeter, I'm assuming you're indicating the gussets? lapping the framing. The "secret" with steel or timber for that matter is ventilation and limbering(drainage holes), an effective paint scheme is very important to steel, access to or elimination of void areas as well. The 3K structurally complete cat is fantasy if including coatings even in Pound$. A plywood or composite cabin may be ok if the landing/upstand/coaming is in staino, the fastenings required generally compromise coatings to steel & eventual results blow up with oxygen mixing with steel Jeff.

Length 26.0

I bought this boat brand new in 2013 and with full factory equipments that factory had to offer at the time. My wife does not like it so I ended up buying another 24' jet boat and I have to sell this one. It is currently at my slip at Washington Sailing Marina. I only sailed for one hour with my instructor and used the motor approximately less than 3 hours to run around a little bit and that was it. I spent most my time on my 24' jet boat. I enjoyed the time with this sailboat mostly on installing electronic equipments, stereo system, bow thruster. That's right, I installed Sideshift bow thruster to help make it much more maneuverable and easier to moving in and out of slip under any condition. Sideshift is the only best company making add-on bow thruster, a very high quality thruster. You can visit them at www.sideshift.com. Black hull is rare and it is awesome to look at. In fact, I have many good comments from bystanders. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this boat. You can have a peace of mind and never have to wonder if anything is wrong with it; just like buying a used car and wonder if it has ever been in an accident. I also have this boat listed locally, so I preserve the right to end this listing early if someone bought it. If you are in the market for an excellent used Macgregor sailboat, then this is it.

1989 Cambria 48

Newport Beach, California

Make Cambria

1989 Cambria 48 The Cambria 48" was the only boat to be included twice in Fernec' Mate's "Best Sailboats of the World"! This is a beautiful shiny, glassy, custom navy blue hull, with teak deck and complete isinglass enclosure. She is mid heavy with world cruising in mind, or elegant local coastal.     Cambria Yachts are very well respected in the industry. This 48 footer is a one off from the board of David Walters. She is a Cambria 46 footer in the mold to have a traditional counter stern. The yacht is very shallow of draft with the centerboard up though the low aspect fin keel should prove efficient on its own, the gained aspect ratio with the board down should make her perform very well to weather. The yacht is moderate to heavy displacement even though she is built with a cored hull for rigidity and insulation. Her rig is stout with a large section. Head stay and forestay are roller furling. She carries robust discontinuous rod rigging with spreader base tangs and stainless steel chainplate's   The Cambria 48 has been well taken care of and ready for a new owner to make his or her's sailing dreams come true. Call us today to schedule a private showing!

Check out this link to Canvasback Missions Inc. A good friend of mine (Henry) sailed on Canvasback after he retired. He was an eye surgeon, and he sailed with them in the . He knew absolutely nothing about sailing. His first night on board while still in jet lag, he was given the job of the catamaran all night long. They stood him up behind the , gave him a course, and told him to steer the course and the crew disappeared down below. Needless to say, Henry was more than a little surprised to be a seventy foot catamaran in the darkness . It was a rather austere experience for Henry. He ending up losing 30 pounds on the voyage, but he had a great time visiting the islands and checking people's eyes. Henry was one tough dude. He landed in Guadalcanal in World War II, and lots of friends in the ensuing battle. Fortunately, Henry was endowned with a fearless nature and seemed to have a good dose of luck in all his adventures. I worked with him in Saudi Arabia when he was 74 years old, and he was still practicing medicine full time. When the Scud missles were coming down in Riyadh, Henry and I would be sitting in chairs out in the front of our villas waiting for the air raid sirens to sound warning of incoming scuds, and then we would for our safe rooms (which really were not that safe).
