epoxies can be formulated from super brittle to max flex. Marine epoxies
tend to be very brittle (no no wants a flexing boat). You just need to
select the correct epoxy which you will not find in a marine supply store.

Hi group,

If one were to sheath an unstayed, solid (grown) wooden mast with
unidirectional fibreglass and epoxy (painted over for UV protection),
would the sheathing eventually embrittle and fail? I'm thinking that
an unstayed mast goes through far more flexion cycles and flexes much
further than a stayed mast.

Thoughts?
