Fiberglass Boats

Hugo du Plessis

Since its first edition in 1963, this classic reference is relied upon by owners and professionals to understand the many facets of fiberglass boat construction. Now completely updated, it is an invaluable, non-technical resource for expert information on the principles of fiberglass construction, as well as sound practice. Author Hugo du Plessis focuses on the kind of boats that dominate the used market, examining fiberglass' durability, weaknesses, effects of use, and the latest research into causes of blistering--or osmosis. His advice will help owners extend the life of their fiberglass boats or prevent would-be owners from purchasing craft that are soon to fail.

General Principles. Understanding How Fiberglass Can Fail. Turning a Bare Moulding Into a Boat. The Gelcoat. Moulding. Maintenance and Use. Repair.
