[QUOTE="richg99, post: 444318, member: 4376"] Back when I was messing about with sailboats, I read that the entire wooden boating industry was upended when fiberglass was first used to make a boat, around 1942. The wooden boat builders of the day were not originally too worried. But, they found out that their business plan of replacing wooden boats every ten or twenty years, due to rotting wood, was messed up. Fiberglass boats, it seemed, NEVER rotted. [/QUOTE]
