Why the hell would you want an all steel bottomed sailboat?

 

-Puncture resistent

-Cheaper than Aluminum

-having weight below the water line gives it stability. It'll also "tumble home" if tipped... provided it doesn't take to much water.

It also sinks faster, is pig slow, and it's as cold as the ocean inside. It was a common building material before Fiberglass.
