Does anyone know any good websites about the different materials used in sailing boats, specifically hulls?

I'm meant to be doing a physics project on a material and its use, and I was thinking of doing fibreglass in sailing boat hulls, but I can't really find any good websites.


Thanks|||I built sailboats for a living 30 years ago, but the materials and techniques have changed some since then. I did find an interesting website that you may want to use for your project. I'll attach it down below.|||I think it may be tough to find a website that is directly dedicated to what you are after.





Sailboat hulls these days are made of many different materials; fiberglass, aluminum, steel, wood, concrete, carbon fiber.





I think fiberglass would be a good material to do a project on. It is used in many things that are being built today and you would have alot of different uses to explain in your experiment.
