Building an Aluminum Sailboat Pt 4 - How the Hull Plates are Shaped
Переглядів 353,172
День томуWe're Sheryl and Paul Shard, presenters of the Distant Shores sailing adventure TV series and Distant Shores UKposts channel. We've been cruising internationally since 1989 documenting the sailing lifestyle to inspire and inform anyone dreaming of sailing to distant shores. We invite you to follow our adventures as we build our next boat, a custom aluminum Enksail Orion 49.
This time on Distant Shores we get our first look at the boat welded together… We also dive deep into how flat aluminum plates are shaped into the smooth curved pieces needed to make a fast and strong sailboat hull. Then we take the opportunity to climb right inside our new boat and learn more about how the welds are made.

Excellent. I worked at Boeing for 22 years, some in tool planning. We would call the plywood pieces checking templates. Also, the hull plate to hull plate welds, done from both sides would be considered full penetration welds. The idea is to have solid defect free metal at least as thick as the adjoining plates so the welds are just as strong, or stronger than the plate material. If done properly the weld will not be the first thing to fail.

You enjoy higest dutch craftmanship there, this Aluboat will outlast all those Amels and Oysters.. A strong advice: make very little hull-through holes (1 or maybe 2 as central accesspoints) and bring them with a straight tube over waterline level. In this way You are unsinkable, and if anything blocks the hole, You can just push a stick into the tube and push it free. I don´t know the english term for this, but it is a very good safety feature, because a leaking seacock did sink a many boats. ;)
@SailingSnowGum Місяць тому
The English term for the straight tubes you are describing is 'above-waterline stand-pipes'. These are a great idea and are easy to incorporate into an aluminium hull, as they can be welded directly onto the hull plates, as well against supporting brackets. Unfortunately, they do not make the boat unsinkable. There will still be at least three points where a broken hose or fitting can let water in at worryingly fast rate; these being through the STD (speed, temperature and depth) sensor, the intake for the watermaker and the propeller shaft seal. The words' unsinkable' and 'boat' should probably not ever be used in the same sentence! 😐 This boat, like our former Garcia, is certainly less sinkable than most sailing yachts, which tend to have several through hole fittings with hoses connected below the water line. However, if softwood bungs are wired in place next to these penetrations, there is a reasonable chance of dealing with a hose and valve failure if it happens. The biggest concern is getting a whack on the hull or an appendage by the head or tail of a whale. At least with aluminium, it's more likely to bend and remain watertight, rather than crack like fibreglass. Regards, Rick.
@Iam-mad 29 днів тому
@@SailingSnowGum Yes Rick, Alu or Steel rules the safety. In my view the worst safety Point in terms of sinking is the rudder, when hitting submerged contaiers in the south. This hull opening will be mostley difficult to treat in timely manner.
@Iam-mad 28 днів тому
@@MauserM03Blog I meant it on a general level as a danger to sink, not to this model, no doubt dutch do well.
@SailingSnowGum 28 днів тому
@@Iam-mad We’ll have to disagree on this. With these boats (and most sailing yachts) the rudder bearing structure and its opening through the hull is above the waterline. Further, with aluminium boats there tends to be a watertight bulkhead between the steering compartment and the rest of the hull, with its own bilge pump. Some aluminium boats have foam zones at the top, to avoid penetrating the hull plates if impacted (Garcias). So the rudder is not the greatest concern. However there is a history of fibreglass boats coming unstuck from rudder damage. The orca encounters on the Spanish or Portuguese coast are examples.

@chippyjohn1 Рік тому
It's quite common for welding thick metal and for ensuring their is no parting line (weakness) in the hull. Large ships do it also, as well as pressure vessels, especially if the welder is not very powerful. MIG welders use very thin wire, so they are limited with the amount of power they can handle.

@windward2818 10 місяців тому
Some observations based on the video. The construction approach is very traditional and proven. The hull plates are butt welded on the inside after tacked in position on the outside with removable stringers (longitudinal braces). Before welding the hull plates are chamfered (beveled) on the inside, placed and tacked in position, and welded completely through to the outside in continuous welds. The most common weld for 5086ish hull plates is GMAW-P (Pulse MIG) and most likely uses a push-pull MIG gun. My guess is the hull weld area is preheated by one worker to a predetermined temperature and then the welder follows the preheat. Then the inside weld is V cut from the outside and then welded to get over 50% penetration, then the weld is sanded flush. As such the weld two sided weld has complete penetration and the welding wire is chosen for similar strength as the as welded 5086 (5086-O). The frame welds are stitched, meaning not continuous, so as to limit unwanted warping of the hull plates. If you can get large enough plates and have a large enough laser cutter, you can cut complete frames which are cut nested which does not require welding the deck top portion of the frame. The frame is complete like a huge donut. As such, it can be taken to a very flat large welding indexing table where the T plates are welded on. With the T plates attached the frame will not warp or distort as you weld the boat together. The frames can be laser or waterjet cut and are usually nested on the sheet. The frames can be very accurately cut as per the CAD file and essentially provides a very accurate positioning guide when welding the boat. The T Plates, which can also be water jet cut if not wider than about 4 inches, on the frames is considered a very common addition for strength (buckling) and also have many other functions, like holding of the hull insulation and attaching inside facia. A curious item is it seems the passage bulk heads do not have an extrusion liner or cap, which acts like a T plate with more advanced geometry on the door opening. The bulkheads are also reinforced with grid plates. Missing on the bulkhead is having T plates around all openings to address metal fatigue (crack stops).

Fantastic, thank you very much for the very interesting video. Making the curves of the aluminum sheet requires very great experience of the operator of the bending machine. Really great to see how the boat is created. Another little tip from me. A small disadvantage of an aluminum boat is that most workshops on the way on a long trip, do not have a welding machine to weld aluminum. So my tip, just add a small TIG AC/DC or MIG welder to your "on board pharmacy" and practice the whole thing beforehand. I am already looking forward to the other videos. It greets you warmly Siegmar

Love all these videos! The welding is excellent! Using the English Wheel to stretch and shape the metal plates is fascinating too. Car bodies were made that way before. This is a very labor intensive way to build a boat, with so many welds, and the English Wheel. This keeps the costs high and cruising less accessible to many people. What's needed are new building techniques and/or more automation, in order to lower costs and make cruising affordable to more people. Not really a criticism, just facts.

I've spent quality time on aluminum jet boats here in Alaska and they're amazingly tough boats. Beating into 6' short period waves and just slamming onto the next wave, no problem. An engine would fail before the hull would become a problem. Aluminum is harder to make into a hull than is GRP as far as I know but it'll outlast GRP for sure and can handle running aground or hitting small ice bergs ('bergie bits' as we call them). Plus, if the prop is protected by a skeg and the rudder is hung from a skeg, that affords a lot of protection in icy situations. We run V8 engines with jet drives on them in 4" of water and I've seen guys blast over small sandbars at 20+ knots (you have to throttle back when you hit the sand bar to keep from sucking too much sand into the intake on the drive unit), so these aluminum hulls can handle a lot of abuse! I take it you guys are going to do some high latitude sailing?

Dear Sheryl and Paul, thank you for giving sail passionate people like me the possibility to fully understand the building process and the shipowners decisions that must take place along the journey. I've a question for you: which is the aluminum used (which specifications of aluminum alloy) and which is the specification of aluminum rod used to weld it (very important too, rods have a number upon it which define the type of rod). It would be very interesting to know because Netherlands is at the forefront of the aluminum boat building processes so that this information gives a clue about the best technical choices related to the materials currently used for aluminum yachts. Also it would be interesting to know if all the boat is made in the same aluminum (meaning type of aluminum alloy) or not. I am more into steel than aluminum (I restored a steel boat, including lots lots of welding) but I'd be curious to know about these details if possible, as the aluminum construction shown in the video seems impressively strong. One very last question, the keel is in steel with poured lead: which steel did they use? 316 or 308 or different? Thank you very much for your kind answer and congratulations for your magnificent yacht.
