Building an Aluminum Sailboat Pt 4 - How the Hull Plates are Shaped
September 25, 2022 by Distant Shores TV | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:12:21 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We’re Sheryl and Paul Shard, presenters of the Distant Shores sailing adventure TV series and Distant Shores YouTube 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.
