   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegra_24

   The Allegra 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of biaxial glass/acrylic-epoxy resin pre-preg fiberglass, with PVC foam-cored decks and cabin tops, with wood trim. Some were also built from wood.

3. Stitch and glue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_and_glue

   The one sheet boat (OSB, cf. oriented strand board) is an outgrowth of the stitch and glue technique. The OSB is a boat that can be built using a single sheet of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood (1.22 m × 2.44 m). Some additional wood is often used, for supports, chines, or as a transom, though some can be built entirely with the sheet of plywood ...

4. Strip-built - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip-built

   Strip-built, or "strip-plank epoxy", is a method of boat building. [1] Also known as cold molding, the strip-built method is commonly used for canoes and kayaks, but also suitable for larger boats. The process involves securing narrow, flexible strips of wood edge-to-edge around temporary formers.

   Epoxy resin: a two-part thermosetting polymer increasingly used in modern wooden boat building variously as an adhesive, filler (admixed with other materials), and a moisture-resistant barrier in hull and deck construction, sometimes applied in conjunction with reinforcing cloths such as fibreglass, kevlar or carbon fibre.

6. Carvel (boat building) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carvel_(boat_building)

   Modern waterproof glues, especially epoxy resin, have caused revolutionary changes in carvel and clinker construction. Traditionally, nails provided the fastening strength; now it is the glue. It has become quite common since the 1980s for carvel and clinker construction to rely almost completely on glue for fastening.

7. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

   A suitable resin for combining the fiberglass with a plastic to produce a composite material was developed in 1936 by DuPont. The first ancestor of modern polyester resins is Cyanamid's resin of 1942. Peroxide curing systems were used by then. [6] With the combination of fiberglass and resin the gas content of the material was replaced by plastic.
