We Built an Aluminium Boat, from Nothing to Sea Trials in 11 Minutes

We built a 12ft Aluminium boat because we couldn't get to our big boat in the lockdowns. Of course we recorded the whole thing and here's the first video. <br> <br>It's going to be the tender/dinghy for the big boat. The design is by Rick Welin of (www.metalboatkits.com) <br> <br>We'll be making other videos about this one soon, so if you have questions about it put them in the comments. We'll also be posting an update video soon too. <br> <br>Hope you are all keeping well, thanks for being so patient. <br> <br>A few extra details if you are interested: (Video with more details to follow soon) <br> <br>The design is by Rick Welin from https://metalboatkits.com/product/12-foot-skiff/ <br>Rick was very helpful during the build, would definitely recommend! <br> <br>We used 4mm Aluminium 5083 which is a marine specific grade. The tube etc was 6063 and 6061. <br> <br>We Tig welded the whole thing as that's what we had to use, not ideal but got the job done. <br>Filler for marine aluminium welding is 5356.
