Boat Building  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Already in ancient times, boots were used which originated from different rafts and dugout trees. The last mentioned was an important precursor to canoes, consisting of a tree trunk, which was hollowed out with primitive tools or through the use of fire.
In very early times, the Egyptians shaped reed rowing boots by binded bundles of papyrus stalks tightly together.
Due to its extraordinary ease these reed boats were ideal for fishing in the marshes along the Nile.
Since they were equipped with sails and oars, the reed boats could also convey cargoes and passengers.

Wooden boats
A watercraft from wooden planks developed gradually from the changing logboats of the Bronze Age. Structures using tree trunks also occurred in ancient Egyptian boats where short planks or beams were bolted wooden edge to edge
and so a body formed. The rib structure and the planking are the basic components of wooden boats. The frame is used to support and reinforce the body. The cladding is the outer skin which is fixed to the rib structure.

Plywood construction
In 1918, the construction of boats from plywood began in the United States and developed very quickly.  The two main forms are panelled and compressed. In panel construction flat sheets of plywood are attached on the transverse frames, to the keel and other components that secure the longitudinal strength. They are only used for kink framed boots, which are those with a flat or V - shaped bottoms. The available bending moment of a plywood panel is extremely limited.

Sail cloth boots
When building small boats with canvas coverings, a very thin sheeting is placed over light steam bent frames. Then canvas is strechted tightly over the hull with brackets and a tackle at bow and stern. When the canvas is secured, it is coated with a thin primer or wetted with water. When the canvas dries, it shrinks and thus provides a smooth surface. Then the canvas is painted water deflectors are attached on the gunwale, and an outer keel, stem and stern are secured. This creates a dense boat that is easy to carry.

Other materials
In Europe, aluminum was used for boat building for the first time in 1891.
1894 saw the first aluminum boats in the United States and was indeed built for the polar expedition of the American journalist and explorer Walter Wellman.
After the 2nd World War aluminum boats were common practice, usually in the form of canoes or simple vessels for fishing. These boats were built from aluminum sheets, for example, their shape are obtained by punching and riveting together. Currently they are working on sandwich-like construction, which should increase both the lightness and strength.

Glass reinforced plastic
These days, most boats made of plastic composite materials are molded. The mold is a cavity which has exactly the shape of the boat. Through this method, the fuselage is produced from high strength and relatively low weight, which can be produced quickly and without great skills on the part of boat builders. In many cases, internals, e.g. bulkheads and substructures for an engine, are inserted, while the hull is in the form and then connected to the body by the plastic and its gain.

In general, the plastic used is a polyester type resin. Furthermore, epoxy and vinyl ester resins can be used. The reinforcing material is often fiberglass, resulting in the preamble led fiberglass boat. Boat building with greater strength and rigidity at a certain weight can be made of aramid (often referred to as Kevlar, a proper noun) or manufactured from graphite fiber reinforcement.
These materials are more expensive than glass and therefore are only in applications where their properties are decisive for the result.
