Of all materials, natural and man-made, plastic is one of the most resistant to salt water spray, even under the most severe conditions. Its properties make it a highly valued material for many components in the Boating Industry.
Working with plastics, you could make moulded plastic windscreens and hatches, working with top quality acrylics and tints.

There are also emerging opportunities to work with environmentally friendly recycled plastics to make such items as wharf components, jetty fenders, heavy duty kerbing, wave breakers, jetty planking, life buoys and ski rope.

Without a doubt, the growing plastics industry offers a wide range of job choices, and skills that are easily transferred to many other industries.
