STRUCTURAL ISSUES

Transporting a boat by road may seem like a simple operation, but it is actually one of the most delicate phases in a vessel’s life. Vibrations, acceleration, braking, structural torsion, and poor weight distribution can cause damage that is not immediately visible but appears over time.Many boat owners underestimate this step, focusing only on the safety of the load during the journey and forgetting that mechanical stresses can leave deep marks in the boat’s structure. The m

The safety and performance of a boat largely depend on the structural integrity of the vessel. Over time, repeated stress, accidental impacts, and insufficient maintenance can lead to a variety of problems, some of which may seriously compromise navigation and the boat’s longevity. In this article, we highlight the main structural vulnerabilities that owners should monitor: 1. Delaminations Delamination occurs when layers of fiberglass and resin separate, reducing the strengt
