This is the 5th in a 5 Part Series on Hull Materials.
Fiberglass boats became popular in the 1960's and have since become the staple hull material of choice. Fiberglass quickly replaced wood as the standard hull material and soon, any hull other than fiberglass was considered "alternative".
Fiberglass itself has evolved over the years to become the well-known material of modern boat construction. In this episode, I interview Matt from @MJSailing to pick his brain on why he chose fiberglass as his hull material of choice for the new catamaran he is building.
