Context:
Bouts intégrés dans casquettes polyester avec un accès technique
This is a line in a list of features for a 55 foot sailing yacht. there is no further context.
My instinct is that this is some kind of cover or casing.

fibreglass overhang
polyester here = "fibre de verre" = fibreglass
I can picture a "casquette" on a building but not 100% sure of the correct term in English and especially on a boat, hence the medium confidence rating.
Basically this a projection, normally over a window or doorway, not big enough to be called a roof but overhanging enough to perhaps give some protection from the elements, house a light, etc.

Note from asker:
| I know exactly what you're referring to, but if it was that kind of 'casquette' there would only be one of them and the pictures of the yacht just don't fit with this. If it was that, it would simply be called a cap. |

Nikki Scott-Despaigne
: Might be sufficiently accurate and vague to do the trick. GRP for polyester probably...

Thanks - I'm not sure polyester needs changing/expanding.

As for polyester, chances are it means GRP.
