In steel or aluminum: as a welder you help build the hull of a Feadship. When the sections are put together, you see the yacht emerge. Your work is the basis for a mirror-smooth hull. That takes craftsmanship. You can bet that's appreciated.

Section Construction

Feadships usually have a steel hull and an aluminum upper deck. Both are made up of sections; they are prepared piece by piece and finally joined together. The length of the section parts does not lie. The upper deck sections, for example, are up to 35 meters long and weigh between 12 and 50 tons. At most, they are 8 to 10 mm, but usually thinner. The same goes for the steel plates, by the way.

Tight lattice work

Most welding takes place in the hull construction phase. Techniques used are aluminum welding (deckhouse), carbon steel welding (hull) and pipe welding. After about a year, this phase is completed and the hull leaves for the finishing yard. There the painters continue the hull builder's sleek craftsmanship.
