composites in boating

Composites in boating refer to materials made by combining two or more different substances to create a lightweight, strong, and durable material. Typically, this involves a matrix (like resin) and reinforcement (such as fiberglass or carbon fiber). These materials are used to build boat hulls, decks, and components because they offer high strength-to-weight ratios, resistance to corrosion, and improved performance. Composites enable boats to be built lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient while maintaining structural integrity, making them a preferred choice in modern marine construction.
