Hummm...you need cast iron rudders, tillers and extensions, steel sails and a big iron skid plate underneath.

What was advocated was "Loans" for people to buy their own stuff .... and look after it, like they don't look after institutional kit.

There were once some Aluminium Flying-15s built;  these of course have steel keels, so almost satisfy your 'spec'   Wink,  bottom up to the sheerline anyway.

Your description of a club boat with cast iron plate etc sounds like a bosun.
Sorry but the boat needs to be something people want to sail which will depend on what you have at the club and has to be within peoples skill level.
