PRESERVING THE HULL INTEGRITY OF FIBREGLASS BOATS
ibreglass is an amazing material. It can be moulded into far more complex shapes than can be achieved with aluminium. It’s also easy to repair, and correctly supported on a trailer and kept away from direct sunlight, a well-built fibreglass boat will last upwards of 40 years. My 1981 3.8m Fairlite Gull sailing dinghy, for example, is as structurally sound now as she was when built.
