aluminum sailboats: what experienced sailors know
With a density and mechanical properties of both rigidity and shock absorption, aluminum is undoubtedly the ideal material for building yachts that are both light and safe. In addition to the flexibility it provides in terms of building processes, it is also a suitable material for building custom yachts.
Alubat is a renowned French sailboat builder that builds high-quality 100% aluminum sailboats. So what does that really mean? Compared to some of the competitors, Alubat builds true full-body aluminum sailboats. Other builders might use a composite deck or roof, which makes the installation of interior components easier but it sacrifices the integrity and benefits of this type of construction.
The advantages of building 100% aluminum sailboats far outweigh the disadvantages. With more than 50 years of building sailboats, the Alubat shipyard ensures the structural integrity of all its vessels by using this proven construction methodology.
