Goodwin was an engineer and inventor and created a process to make hollow, wooden sailboat masts from four pieces of wood, using water pressure. [1] [2] Goodwin learned about fiberglass as a new boat construction material during the Second World War and started the company working with it directly after the war, in 1947, starting with models ...

The pinas boats of Terengganu are built using the indigenous technique the Malays have developed to build wooden boats. They build without plans, hull first, frames later. The planks are fire bent and joined edge on edge ( carvel ) using "basok" (wooden dowels ) made from Penaga - ironwood ( Mesua ferrea ).
The one sheet boat (OSB, cf. oriented strand board) is an outgrowth of the stitch and glue technique. The OSB is a boat that can be built using a single sheet of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood (1.22 m × 2.44 m). Some additional wood is often used, for supports, chines, or as a transom, though some can be built entirely with the sheet of plywood ...
Wood is the traditional boat building material used for hull and spar construction. It is buoyant, widely available and easily worked. It is a popular material for small boats (of e.g. 6-metre (20 ft) length; such as dinghies and sailboats).
Strip-built, or "strip-plank epoxy", is a method of boat building. [1] Also known as cold molding, the strip-built method is commonly used for canoes and kayaks, but also suitable for larger boats. The process involves securing narrow, flexible strips of wood edge-to-edge around temporary formers.
Phil Bolger was unconventional in many ways and, among many large boats, yachts and custom designs, took an interest in what he termed "evolving crafty ways of building boats". [4] As far back as 1957 he designed "Poohsticks" [ 5 ] as a small plywood rowing skiff to be simply and economically built at home (originally by his brother).
They built about 35 wooden hulls between 1948 and 1950, when they switched to fiberglass. Another company, Doughdish, Inc. [note 2] is building a fiberglass version of the 12½. Since Cape Cod's rights prohibit anyone else from using the trademarked named “Herreshoff 12½”, the boat is called Doughdish.
