: My new Storm LT is exactly 35 pounds. I used 3/16 strips, 6 oz glass on the
: outside of the hull with 4 oz glass inside the hull and both sides of the
: deck There are 6oz glass reinforcemnts around the cockpit and under the
: back deck as well as stem amd stern reinforcements. I think one of the
: biggest factors is to make sure you really squeegee the resin well so that
: you don't add too much weight there. Hope this helps.

Cool. I hope I'll get to test paddle one at R2K3 this summer.
