Nick, Any comments on the Coastals you built from Kevlar and fiberglass?

Was it worth the effort of building the mold, or are wooden versions just as good.

Would it be feasible to build a boat with a composite hull and a stripped deck? (I realize woodstrip is itself a composite, but I am referring to composites like graphite/glass/kevlar/epoxy)
