Composite Repair
Without going into a chemistry lesson, composites are made up of
polyester resins and glass. The use of composites to build boats is
becoming more popular since it outperforms metal structures because it is lighter, stronger, and cheaper. Today, yachts, fishing boats,
patrol boats, and lifeboats are just a few of the vessels made with
composites. With a solid knowledge of composite materials, related
mechanics, and a good work ethic, you can work in shipyards building and repairing pleasure, commercial, or military vessels and
make an average of $21 per hour!
