Lightweight and super-fast workboats constructed from carbon fibre composites are making headway on the marine market, traditionally the realm of aluminium and steel.
Carbon fibre composites are no longer reserved for expensive high-end applications and are finding their way into new markets. These materials are increasingly being used to replace metals in applications where sustainable design and light weight are of greater value, primarily for reducing fuel consumption.
