Aluminum alloy yacht material

Most people still pay little attention to the selection of hull materials when buying aluminum alloy yachts for the first time, although the emergence of fiberglass yachts in the 1960s brought revolutionary changes to the yacht industry, making fiberglass the standard for hull material selection. But fiberglass is not the only choice for yacht materials. In this article, Xiaoqu will take you to learn about another material - aluminum alloy. You will see the unique quality of aluminum yachts, which can be said to be a perfect alternative to fiberglass.

Because aluminum yachts are not prone to rusting, they generally do not require frequent and costly maintenance like steel and wooden yachts. But in fact, how to better maintain the paint on aluminum yachts is one of the headaches for shipowners.

If you have the opportunity to take a closer look at an aluminum yacht that has been in use for a while, you will see a portion of the paint falling off the waterline. But this is not an insurmountable issue. Before painting, carefully polish with sandpaper and use aluminum oxide primer to reduce most of the paint peeling issues.
