Year: 1987 Language: english Author: Jack Willey Genre: Handbook Publisher: Tab Books Edition: First ISBN: 0-8306-0499-5 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 356 Description: While there are certainly both advantages and disadvantages in using fiberglass, the advantages largely outweigh the disadvantages. Fiberglass does not suffer from dry rot or worms, a common problem with wood; from rust, a common problem with steel; or from electrolysis, common problems with both steel and aluminum boats. Fiberglass boats require relatively little maintenance, certainly less than required by other materials. They are, however, still far from maintenance-free. This book is primarily about the fiberglass part of boats. Most so-called "fiberglass" boats use a variety of other materials in their construction, such as wood for bulkheads and trim, rigid foam for core and flotation purposes, metal for engines and fittings and fasteners, and fabrics for upholstery. While the whole boat will be treated to some degree, the focus will be on the fiberglass portion. The vast popularity and acceptance of fiberglass boats have created a real need for a how-to handbook on the subject. There are three main aspects to this book. The first deals with understanding, selecting, purchasing, and owning fiberglass boats. The second part covers caring for, maintaining, equipping, altering, and repairing fiberglass boats. The third aspect is an introduction to finishing out bare hulls and fiberglass kit boats, which are available from a number of manufacturers, and one-off fiberglass boatbuilding methods.

Description: While there are certainly both advantages and disadvantages
in using fiberglass, the advantages largely outweigh the disadvantages.
Fiberglass does not suffer from dry rot or worms, a common
problem with wood; from rust, a common problem with steel;
or from electrolysis, common problems with both steel and aluminum
boats. Fiberglass boats require relatively little maintenance,
certainly less than required by other materials. They are, however,
still far from maintenance-free.
This book is primarily about the fiberglass part of boats. Most
so-called "fiberglass" boats use a variety of other materials in their
construction, such as wood for bulkheads and trim, rigid foam for
core and flotation purposes, metal for engines and fittings and
fasteners, and fabrics for upholstery. While the whole boat will be
treated to some degree, the focus will be on the fiberglass portion.
The vast popularity and acceptance of fiberglass boats have
created a real need for a how-to handbook on the subject. There
are three main aspects to this book.
The first deals with understanding,
selecting, purchasing, and owning fiberglass boats. The second
part covers caring for, maintaining, equipping, altering, and repairing
fiberglass boats. The third aspect is an introduction to
finishing out bare hulls and fiberglass kit boats, which are available
from a number of manufacturers, and one-off fiberglass boatbuilding
methods.
