If your boat hit a raft of pumace rocks it would sand thru in no time. If they were red hot they would just melt thru. Joe Scotty |

Maybe you can eat the snakes... :-)

Cut the **** Doug, I've jumped off a fiberglass boat and watched it burn to the waterline. And I guess it didn't have any fuel or other combustibles aboard? Fiberglass doesn't burn, period. It's GLASS.... the melting point varies but is usually quite high and I have personally worked with fiberglass insulation used in 3500 degree combustion chambers. Now, the resin, on the other hand... also varies widely! If you ever saw any fiberglass burn, with NO other cumbustable material mixed in... then you were really watching the resin burn.

Joe wrote: insulation smintelation, all fiberglass boats are oil products and burn like napalm. No, actually they're not. Many are built for the military using resin that is either non-combustible or actually flame-retardant. Your trawler would be ashes before RedCloud even started glowing red. Probably so, since it was built with common resin. OTOH I am far smarter than to let it catch fire in the first place. And steel or not, I hope you do likewise with your boat. Besides, Red Cloud is 100% certain to rust away, eventually... very few fiberglass boats will ever catch fire and those mostly due to carelessness. DSK |

Some volcanic output is actually glass strands - fiberglass. Pumice is
softer. http://www.answers.com/topic/obsidian-1 Plus the glass is sharper than steel! And it doesn't rust! |
