We
have a dinghy that I designed & built, and consider it as close to
perfect for our uses as could be: it is very easy to row, stable, and
looks like a classic lapstrake pulling boat.

It is a great dink, and don't forget Hank looks great in it! Unfortunatly
the Crapton wouldn't like it, it's not made of GRP, I guess he hasn't
heard of carbon fiber yet.

I think GRP includes carbon fiber unless you don't add any resin to the
carbon fiber cloth, that is. Doh!

So you two jokers think that glass and carbon fiber are the same thing.
Yet more proof, as if we needed any that no-one should ever take any
advice, marine or otherwise,from you.

"Doh"?

GRP = Glass Reinforced Plastic.

FRP = Fiber Reinforced Plastic.

Carbon is fiber but carbon is not glass...

Did you ever hear of FRP? It just so happens that FRP and GRP are used
pretty much interchangeably.

Fiber reinforced plastic definitely includes carbon fiber just as it
includes glass fiber.

Very good Greg, you are learning. Now go back and read Neal's original
post, he specifically stated "GRP", as you seem to have learned, the "G"
stands for GLASS, not carbon.
