The Meta Dalu 47 is a robust, aluminum expedition yacht designed by the esteemed naval architecture firm JoubertNivelt and built by Chantier Naval META. Built using the shipyard's proprietary "Strongall" construction method, the Dalu 47 is engineered for highlatitude exploration and longdistance bluewater cruising. The Strongall process, patented by Meta in 1977, utilizes thick aluminum plating—often exceeding 10mm to 12mm—which allows the hull to be selfsupporting without the dense internal framework of ribs and stringers found in traditional builds. This results in a hull of immense structural integrity and impact resistance, often described as nearly "bulletproof" by the offshore community. Typically configured as a dériveur intégral (full lifting keel), the vessel is designed to navigate shallow estuaries and remain stable when dried out on a beach, a hallmark of French expedition design.
