Mike, did you put any glass over top of the kevlar? How easy is it to wet out?
Thanks,
Roy.

: Hi, Rick-

: I'm just putting the finishing touches on this winter's two boats, Guil
: Plays. I used 1.8oz Kevlar on the inside of the hull. Got it from Raka.
: Between the kevlar and the satin 3.25 oz stuff on the rest of the boat the
: epoxy use was just about halved. Wts of these boats 32-33lbs, vs. last
: years' 39-40 lbs with traditional 6 oz/4 oz cloth.

: I'm also using 5/32" hardwood, so direct comparison probably won't work.
: The hull, however, feels (ouch) bulletproof. Really stiff. I hope to do
: some destructive testing (similar to Ted's recent tests) next year.

: Good luck! Get a sharp pair of scissors! Mike
