Aluminum yachts do not require more maintenance but they require specific attention. The main points to consider are:

• Monitoring sacrificial anodes
• Ensuring proper electrical system integrity to prevent stray current corrosion
• Maintaining protective coatings when applicable

When correctly designed and maintained aluminum hulls are extremely durable and predictable over time. One major advantage of aluminum yachts for world cruising is reparability. Aluminum can be welded and repaired in most parts of the world making it ideal for autonomous long distance navigation.
