Building boats in a foam sandwich polyethylene construction has several advantages:

1. Lightweight: Polyethylene and foam are both lightweight materials. This reduces the overall weight of the boat, making it easier to handle.

2. Durability: Polyethylene is a very durable material that can withstand impacts and harsh weather conditions. This makes the boat more resistant to damage and increases its lifespan.

3. Cost-effective: Polyethylene is a relatively inexpensive material making it a very cost-effective option for boat building.

4. Maintenance: Boats built with polyethylene require less maintenance than those built with other materials e.g. carbon fibre. They are resistant to corrosion and don't need to be painted or varnished.

5. Environmental Impact: Polyethylene is recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly choice than some other boat building materials.

6. Flexibility: Polyethylene boats can be moulded into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, providing more design flexibility than the traditional carbon fibre designs.

7. Buoyancy: The foam core provides additional buoyancy, which can be a safety advantage in the event of a hull breach.

8. Price: Foam sandwich polyethylene construction is very cost effective making it a cheaper option and in many cases less than half the price of a traditional scull.

In conclusion, the foam sandwich polyethylene construction method offers a multitude of benefits for rowing scull manufacture. Its lightweight, durable, and cost-effective nature, coupled with low maintenance requirements, environmental friendliness, design flexibility, and increased buoyancy, make it an ideal choice for anyone interested in getting out on to the water.
