Is this a wind up ?

If not , does the term "search engine" mean anything to you ?

In the event that you are serious or as I suspect merely lazy it's "Glass Reinforced Plastic".

Wombats do VERY poorly on too little sleep but other than it being Monday and I'm not out on the boat my mood is relatively calm cos I slept like a deadun last night.

You do have to ask yourself however, why someone , anyone, needs to post such a question. Google would have given them the answer much quicker than I did and without the scorn.

GRP is hardly the world's most obscure acronym after all.

So smile as you walk down the street, laugh to yourself and smile at others, you'll get locked up for being a complete nutter but such is life.

GRP/Fibreglass. A good material for lightweight offshore boats and, provided any knocks and scratches are touched up on a regular basis, will give many years of service. We do not recommend the use on large inland waterways boats though - not really tough enough for "Contact Boating".

This explains better
