Other things you may wish to consider about wooden sailboats is the fact that they can be heavier than their plastic counterparts, but when glossed they seem to have less hydrodynamic and aerodynamic resistance than plastic boats. However they are usually much more expensive to buy and repair compared to plastic boats. [links]
Wooden boats are more expensive to repair, because the entire part that has been damaged, must be taken out and replaced, instead of what happens with plastic boats, where they just inject more mould into the breach. [links]
Wood is not as versatile as modern boat building materials such as metals like aluminium and plastics such as GRP. It is more difficult to bend into a boat shape and this led to the development of the 'pram' dinghy such as the Mirror, which does not have a curved front. more
Despite its short comings, wood is a great material to look at and is chosen for its aesthetic values. The GP14 that Mark owns is made of wood and is generally much better looking than the plastic alternatives. here
So if you are deciding between a plastic and wooden boat to buy, check out this article, so that you aren't completely fooled by the great look of some glossy wood.

Alumacraft Boat Co. has branches in Minnesota and Arkansas with a large selection of aluminum boats, including deep-V, mod-V, bay boats, bass boats, utility boats, and Jon boats. here
Marine aluminum plate for boat is one of the new categories of aluminum alloy products, and it is also an important industry application for the aluminum product suppliers. Marine aluminum plates are used in marine ships and boats and other fields, and thus have more stringent technical requirements and functional specifications than other common aluminum alloy products. As we all know, the marine grade aluminum has 5000 series as the typical alloy such as 5083 aluminum and 5086 aluminum.
The standard for marine aluminum plate can be divided into four areas.
1, With high specific strength and specific modulus
The structural strength and scale of the vessel are closely related to the yield strength and elastic modulus of the data. Since the elastic modulus and density of the aluminum alloy are generally the same, the addition of alloying elements has little effect. Therefore, the improvement of the yield strength within a certain range is effective for reducing the ship’s structure. High-strength aluminum alloys are difficult to have excellent corrosion resistance and weldability together. Therefore, marine grade aluminum sheets are usually medium strength, corrosion resistant weldable alloys.
2, Excellent welding function.
The first choice for ships is the active argon arc welding method. The outstanding weldability means that the aluminum alloy has small tendency to crack when welded, that is the aluminum plate for boat has excellent welding crack resistance.
3, Excellent corrosion resistance
The use of ships and boats are in the harsh seawater marine environment, therefore, corrosion resistance is one of the primary symbols of marine aluminum plate alloys.
4, Outstanding cold and hot forming function
Due to the ship is processed by cold processing and hot processing, so the marine aluminum plate for boat must be easy to process, no crack defects, and still meet the corrosion resistance requirements after processing.
