This paper is concerned with the design of boundary angles (tee-joints) in single skin FRP ships and boats. The paper addresses two principal areas. Firstly, there is a brief review of the problem background and of methods used to synthesise the layup in typical marine joints. Designs are then generated on the basis of these methods with considerations being given to different types of materials and configurations. The second aspect of the paper covers an experimental programme completed on a range of joint configurations. The results of these tests are presented in terms of loadings and deflections. Finally, some conclusions are drawn regarding the efficiency of the different configurations and how these reflect back to the current design methods.
