However, let me please give a brief history on fiberglass. It is clear that this enthusiastic description is, still today, in everybody's mind and fiberglass is regarded as a long lasting, inexpensive and low maintenance material. Small fiberglass crafts production started in Italy at the onset of the sixties.

Cured osmosis occurred again thus bubbles are volcano shaped with a swelling in the middle. The spilling liquid from a punctured bubble is to be noticed. I could not give a name to the phenomenon which, I remember, I found on some American built boats. As I did not know what to do with it, I got in touch with a British colleague of mine who sent me some publications and where the proper name of osmosis was given to the blisters I had noticed. This is the unfortunate reality and my only hope rests on the belief that misinformation and not dishonesty belies it.
