dc.description.abstractScarcity of the traditional boat building material viz, wood forces the designer to find an alternate material for the construction of fishing boats. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is emerging as a suitable material in this field, especially for small crafts and reservoir boats. The design of a 4.57 m L A FRP boat was prepared at the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology for gillnet fishing operations in reservoirs. This boat was designed with three seat-cum-buoyancy tanks and a forward chamber. Two rings in the aft and a towing hook in the forward were provided for pulling the boat to the shore. A pair of oar locks were also fitted for rowing the boat. The aft is designed to fit a 15 hp outboard motor. Two numbers of this boat were designed and constructed and the weight of each boat is 220 kg. The hull laminate consists of one layer of CSM300, three layers of CSM450 and one layer of WR 610. The outside hull is applied with a gel coat and colour pigment for getting finer finish. The frames are made of two layers of CSM450 and the frame spacing is 380 mm. The boats powered with 15 hp outboard motors. were tested for performance in the Hirakud reservoir (Burla. Orissa). The boats were found to be watertight, stable, strong and convenient for fishing in reservoirs.en_US
