    I have been looking on the net for FRP laminate properties, but have been having problems finding useful information. Does any one have any data, particularly classification approved data?

    Try sptechnologies.com they have a great web site. Marine Composites by Eric Green is also full of useful info. The Composite design manual by J.A. Quinn, is very handy as well. For a subscription cost of $360.00 per year you can have access to CORDES a design and analysis tool developed by Dr. D. Wiessman, it is very useful!! more info can be found at engineering-i.com

    Hope these help

    Remember to test your own laminates for mech. props. that can actually be achieved in your own shop.
