Steps of boat fabrication from hybrid material of sugar palm fiber and glass fiber (a) gel coat and catalyst were applied onto the inside surface of the mould (b) lay-up process for glass fiber with consistent orientation (c) mixture of unsaturated polyester resin and catalyst spread on top of the fiber glass and rolled using iron roller (d) lay-up process for sugar palm fiber, followed with the same process at (c,e) painted with powder reinforcement unsaturated polyester to protect all material such as sugar palm fiber and glass fiber from water.
