Legendary yacht designer L. Francis Herreshoff has-somewhat inelegantly, it seems to mecalled this versatile material "frozen snot." Maybe so, but how many of Herreshoff's beautiful wooden boats have ended up as lobster condominiums or fuel for a boat shed stove, while snot-built boats of the same age, no matter how undeserving of immortality, continue to ply the world's oceans, bays, and estuaries? Wooden boats regularly die early deaths of natural causes; fiberglass boats must be assassinated.
