Whats better, fiberglass or wood hulls?
The answer to that question depends on what you want. If you want a quick, relatively easy to build ship, then a fiberglass hull is the thing for you. However, you have to keep in mind that in the long run, fiberglass hulls can be less durable than wood hulls, and due to the lack of interest of some people who make the more obscure fiberglass hulls, some of them tend to be lacking in scale fidelity, or relatively poorly made. On the other hand, while a wooden hull is more difficult to build, and must be sealed carefully to prevent water damage, a well built wooden hull is much more durable than a fiberglass hull, and will last much longer. Another consideration for the veteran battlers (who are the ones who typically build wooden hulls) is that they don’t have to deal with someone else’s mistakes in research or execution, but can rather research the best plans they can find and build ships which are as much works of scale art as they are warships. So, in the end, the answer to that que
