Hi Pete, I'd love to see a variety of fabrics: different weaves, weights, compositions. I think most of us have the basics but not really experimented too much with different materials. I could bring along a swatch of 3.2 satin and a swatch of polypropylene fabric if you want to play with those. It would be fun to see a CF, Dynel or Kevlar layup too.

I'm really looking forward to it. Looks like I'll be showing up with one beat-up old boat, one almost finished new boat and a surly group of youths (wife/kids). See you there :)
