Roy; I'm beginning to form an image of something like "tortured plywood", but with some chine bends at the corrugation lines which likely run fore and aft. The picture in the water is heeled to port, and obscures most hull detail such as chines, though it does show the fine entry you mention. I believe I may have used the material on a small scale in Real Estate signs. I gather the hull is one piece, folded without cutting at the keel, likewise at several chine lines. I was sorely tempted to jump at it, as a quicker, cheaper way into the water, but leery of the mystery and rampant superlatives that clouded their ads. I bet the weight is under thirty pounds. Tell us more--- is it possible to add bulkheads, and maybe a hatch or two..? If you can, compare it to the CLC discussion of hull shapes? TNX, Scotty
