Aluminum was the first nail in the wooden boat market and when GRP

Back in the days of wooden working boats all the lobster boats were
cedar on oak frames. From talking to the old folk the wood lasted but
the galvanized boat nails holding it together only lasted 10 years, or
so.

Can we build one for YOU?....(c;

(When they turn the hulls over, they have a huge party to attract local
boaters who provide the labor to turn the hulls over at the boatyard.
Great fun for all and gives you a feeling of doing something for wooden
boats.)
