Fission 500

摘要

It's a sad fact of life the vast majority of fibreglass boat brands don't draw on the technology that could make 'glass boats lighter yet stronger than a tinnie. The problem is cost and it's the reason we haven't seen much appreciable change in the way fibreglass boats are built in 30 years. However, some boat builders are willing to try something different and one of them is Northern NSW Coast boat builder, Nigel Shannon. Nigel normally builds traditional-style timber launches and skiffs for enthusiasts of retro-craft. He's had very little to do with mainstream, production boats so when he was asked to do a seriously good fishing boat in fibreglass he was open mined about trying something completely different.
