I haven't worked with fiberglass, since my teenage years. Back then fishing was just a mild hobby and my love was racing a 24 foot International 110. Lot's of fun, planning hull, trappeze and a ball after a good storm. You could actually get almost half the hull out of the water and surf the big swells if you had a good strong wind. We had a 12 boat fleet in Scituate back then, but I don't see them around much any more. Some still being dry sailed out of Hull, but it's a dying breed. I owned 2 of them and man did I hate the fiberglass work. Both boats were in tough shape when I bought them and I clothed both bottoms and fared in the keels. I'd itch for days after doing any sanding.

Tight lines.
