Why bother?
If the wood is in good shape, there is no need to glass over it. If the
wood is in poor shape, glassing over it is a BAD idea and wastes your money.


Agreed.

A wonderful thing about a wood boat is that any damage from whatever cause
can always be repaired so the boat is at least as good as new.

It can also be repaired so that it's leaky & weakened & certainly
nowhere near as good as new.

The problem with 'repairs' to wooden boats is that it takes expensive
materials & tools & a lot of expert skill, or it's almost worthless.

... A patch on
fiberglass is always a weak point.

Not at all true. Fiberglass can easily be patched such that it is
stronger than it was originally. Such works takes cheap, readily
available materials, and not much skill.


.... Additionally, wood is arguably less
damage-prone from impact than fiberglass

Arguably?

The best thing about wood construction is the sound that a wooden hull
makes sailing thru the water. The next best thing is the built-in
flotation. From a viewpoint of political correctness, the best thing
about wood boats is that they are biodegradable.
