This masterly work will continue to be an invaluable source of reference for anyone wanting practical advices on working with GRP, in order to make repairs and improvements correctly and thus extend the life of their boat. In a deliberately non-technical manner, the author explains the peculiar nature of fibreglass, its durability, its weaknesses, where its likely to fail, the effects of use and the weather, plus the latest research into causes of the biggest worry for owners: blistering and osmosis.
