This paper constitutes the study and manufacturing of fiberglass composite laminates of 3mm thickness consisting of woven type fiber glass with Epoxy resin LY556, hardener HY951 and additives (silicon carbide, calcium sulphate) in different mixtures by vacuum bag method for the application of “boat hull”. This project is to overcome the problems with the material used for boat hull. To reduce density, increase toughness, build up corrosion resistance property, increase wear resistance property and to reduce moisture absorption rate of the material. Test specimens were prepared as per ASTM standards and analysis were performed by Wear test, moisture absorption test in normal and sea water, Rockwell hardness test and Tensile test.
