هيكل/بدن السفينة: مصنوع من الألياف الزجاجية وهي البلاستيك المقوى بالزجاج

Hull: Body of the ship/boat.

GRP: Fiberglass (glass-reinforced plastic).
**********************************
Fiberglass (glass-reinforced plastic or GRP) is typically used for production boats because of its ability to reuse a female mould as the foundation for the shape of the boat. The resulting structure is strong in tension but often needs to be either laid up with many heavy layers of resin-saturated fiberglass or reinforced with wood or foam in order to provide stiffness. GRP hulls are largely free of corrosion though not normally fireproof. These can be solid fiberglass or of the sandwich (cored) type, in which a core of balsa, foam or similar material is applied after the outer layer of fiberglass is laid to the mould, but before the inner skin is laid.
