Year: 1972 Language: english Author: Melvin Willis Genre: Handbook Publisher: International Marine Edition: First ISBN: 0877420181 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 197 Description: A fiberglass hull is a thin (1/8" to 1/4") shell usually composed of two distinct layers: outermost is a thin (1/64") layer of colored, hard, shiny resin which gives a bright finish; inside of the first layer, and bonded to it, is one or more layers of fiberglass cloth saturated with polyester resin. The cloth is made of flexible but strong glass strands; the resin is rigid (when cured) but not strong. Resin plus fiberglass cloth results in a rigid, strong reinforcement for the thin, fragile, but hard and shiny, outer layer.

Description: A fiberglass hull is a thin (1/8" to 1/4") shell usually composed of two
distinct layers: outermost is a thin (1/64") layer of colored, hard, shiny
resin which gives a bright finish; inside of the first layer, and bonded to
it, is one or more layers of fiberglass cloth saturated with polyester resin.
The cloth is made of flexible but strong glass strands; the resin is rigid
(when cured) but not strong. Resin plus fiberglass cloth results in a rigid,
strong reinforcement for the thin, fragile, but hard and shiny, outer layer.
The overall composite shell is watertight, rot-proof, insect-proof, and
fairly easy to keep clean. Designed properly, fiberglass construction can
be as strong as conventional wood construction.
WHY FIBERGLASS?
What is all the excitement about fiberglass? Is it really as good as,
or better than, other boatbuilding materials? The tests conducted on
three Coast Guard patrol boats provide an answer: “A Report on Long
Term Durability of Fiberglass Boats,” appearing in Yachting (September,
1962), reveals that fiberglass is a superior material for marine use.
