| Steel other advantages
Wow, I have been away for a couple of weeks. On return I see many really quality replies to my original post. Thank you all. A very interesting topic and at times heated! It seems most of the band width has been taken up talking about the speed of steel hulls vs. composite. While speed is an issue it seems few have mentioned safety. One of the most compelling reasons to consider steel in my case is the safety issue.
I dream of cruising off the beaten track. Does steel offer more safety? Almost anyone can weld steel if needed. Even in underdeveloped places. If I except that I will become grounded at times does steel not offer more?
It is true, I would like a modicum of speed. I gather a well designed, well built steel boat may still offer more peace of mind in some circumstances.
