Thick fibreglass strands and resin make up most of the structure of a fibreglass boat but gel coat what you see on the outside. The gelcoat covers the outside and the Hull is the component of the boat that sits in the water that keeps your boat afloat.
A good quality gelcoat will last for years of sea travel and protect your boat from elements efficiently. Hulls come in different shapes and designs. Every repair made is according to the orientation of a vessel’s components.
If you have owned a fibreglass boat, you might have noticed mild scratches and scuffs on the gel coat which are no problem to buff out, but if the damage reaches the core, then it needs to be fixed.A small hole in the hull now can become a bigger problem for you later and even lead to loss of your boat.
Some of the scratches on gelcoat are cosmetic and don’t really damage the integrity of your vessel. If these scratches and cracks are left unchecked, they can cause moisture to reach inside and violate the integrity of the fibreglass as well as appearance of the boat. Similarly, even the most horrifying damage to the Hull is quickly fixed with a bit of glass fabric, some resin, and professional skill if done on time.
