Composites
For sometime boat builders have sought more economical processing methods and materials for outfitting. Composites have grown in popularity for marine use because they offer a more practical alternative to fashioning interiors than numerous pieces of wood or steel.
Characteristics
- Favoured for their low magnetism and resilience to shocks.
- Light and strong in tension, composites are stiffer for their weight than steel and aluminium.
- Fatigue resistant.
- Do not corrode in the marine environment or tend to damp vibrations.
- Can be fabricated into complex shapes.
- Easily maintained.
- Simplifies outfitting and provide strength and resilience to withstand wave induced shock loads.
- Suitable marine fire approvals are available.
