You are almost there, looking forward to turning the hull, but there is still something to be welded.
The sheer tube inside and outside, the rub rail. Only the rub rail 12.70 meter times 2 times 2 sides = 50 meters to be chain welded moving back and forth on the side of the boat not always in a comfortable position!
And the polish the welds
And still they will need another pass with Scotch Brite.
But now we have decided that January 4th we shall turn the hull.
Aluminum is the most difficult alloy. Initially, aluminum oxide should be cleaned from the surface. Heat treatable aluminum alloys receive their strength from a process called ageing. Notable decrease in tensile strength will happen when welding aluminum due to over-ageing.
