CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Definition Of The Problem Recreational boats (crafts), which is used for leisure, sport and pleasure activity, are the water crafts both sailboat and motorboat. Boat design is getting more important (like the other craft design areas such as car and plane design) in Turkey and also all around the world. Unlike commercial ships, aesthetic is very important in small boat design. It also plays an important role to sell the vessel. In fact the exterior design, construction, interior design and the material used for the boat design are considered as a whole, which cause designers, craftsmen and engineers to work together. This is a multidisciplinary design problem dealing with different aspects such as structure, form, stability, mission requirements and hydrodynamics etc. There are a lot of factors, which affects the boat design such as aim, size, material, cost and weight of a boat. The material choice is one of the most important factors for the boat design as same as other design objects. As a plus to this, the increasing market demand for the recreational boats has caused the materials and production methods to get important. Because the material and the production method has to be suitable for serial production that cover the increasing market demand. There are different materials used in recreational boat building industry such as steel, ferrocement, aluminum, wood and composites. They all have different material properties and manufacture processes. But nowadays for recreational boats, the most used material is FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic). Because of this reason, in this thesis; reader can find a conclusion that shows why the composites are most used and more suitable material than the other materials for recreational boat industry by the help of the comparisons of material’s mechanical characteristics and the material resistance properties to different affects. As a conclusion, FRP has a preference when compared with other materials by heat resistance, easy repair, low maintenance, competitive cost, lightweight, time gain in limited production, less labor and by being suitable for serial production. Besides these extensive properties, FRP also allow to be manufactured complex formed designs. All boat forms can be manufactured by FRP if the mould is 1PDF Image | FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC BOAT IN SERIAL PRODUCTION
