Abstract
Fibre reinforced thermosets, although strong and hard wearing, can become damaged during use. This is particularly true of GRP boats. In many cases such damage can be adequately repaired, providing that the correct procedures are followed. However, regular maintenance of GRP structures can prevent some of this damage from occurring. A useful booklet on maintenance and repair has been published by International Paint, Yacht Division.1
