Fascinating topic. There's an excellent book on the early days of glass: "Heart of Glass: Fiberglass Boats and the Men Who Built Them" by Daniel SpurrComment

Re: Evolution of Boatbuilding, 1940-1970
Hmm. I met a guy in Brooklin last week who told me about the woodtoglass website and how it was in need of updating. Now I'm guessing it may have been Dan Spurr himself. It was at a loud party and I didn't get his name when I was introduced to him. If so, I surely embarrassed myself by asking if he knew about 'Heart of Glass'.For the most part experience is making the same mistakes over and over again, only with greater confidence.Comment
