For thousands of years, wood was the hull material of choice. This was the norm until fiberglass was introduced! Some will argue of the virtues of other hull materials but the truth is, all hull materials existed when fiberglass was introduced and fiberglass has dominated the market as the standard hull material for all personal boats being built.
The expert I interviewed was Matt from MJ Sailing as they have sailed extensively on a fiberglass sailboat, then an aluminum sailboat, and are now building a fiberglass catamaran to go on their next adventure!
