: For what is is worth I just built a kayak using 60/40 kevlar carbon with
: 200gr csm either side and vinyal ester resin , this thing is bullet proof
: having taken it were kayaks don't really belong. There is no weight gain
: and no gel coat If it is reliability that you want at least try a lay up
: for your self.

Hi Novak, is this a vynelster/fabric boat or is there wood involved. What is csm? Carbon/kevlar is amazing stuff. From what I've seen how a person uses something, the kayak or construction materials has a lot to do with it's survivvability.
