A water vessel comprises at least four panel units, with each panel unit having three or more sides, and having at least one joining part 48 on a portion of each side, wherein each joining part 48 is adapted to join the panel unit to a joining part 46 on another panel. The panel unit is provided with inner 34 and outer 32 composite panels separated by a profile units 38, 40. The core 36 of the inner and outer composite panels may be filled with solid or other foams. The inner panel may be constructed from fire resistant fibres and phenolic resins, while the outer panel may be frmed from epoxy based resin materials. The hull formed by the panels may be chined, and have at least one strengthening stringer (27, 28, 30, 31, fig 4). The lower hull panels are slotted into the keel strake (14, fig 4). A method of constructing a water vessel from composite panels is disclosed, as are panel units for constructing buildings or bridges.
