Fiberglass boats are preferred for several reasons: they are lightweight yet durable, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratios that enhance performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, fiberglass is resistant to corrosion and rot, minimizing maintenance costs and enhancing longevity. The material can also be molded into complex shapes, allowing for greater design flexibility and aesthetic appeal. Lastly, fiberglass boats tend to have a smoother finish, which improves hydrodynamics and overall sailing experience.
